SOFTWARE ENGINEER & TECHNICAL LEADCHENNAI, INDIA / ZOHO

Engineering,
in motion.

I’m Balakumar Kesavarajulu.

Product engineer building AI agents and developer tools at Zoho Creator.

From aeronautical engineering to software testing, automation platforms, and now AI agents. Each chapter changed what I build—and expanded how I think.

THE JOURNEY

SELECT A CHAPTER TO EXPLORE

Product engineering & agent systems

2024–present

Give people new ways to build.

Today I lead agent development in Zoho Creator. I built a page-building agent and its live renderer, contribute to a shared orchestration framework, and work on reliable agent execution.

Aeronautical engineering degree · 2009–2013

My engineering journey began with a degree in aeronautical engineering. It was the starting point for a career that would take shape in software.

Manual testing · 2013–2014

I started in mobile quality assurance at Zoho Creator, testing how software behaved and learning from the places where it broke.

Test automation · 2014–2018

I moved from running tests to building automation: web, mobile and API tests, Java frameworks, and responsibilities across releases.

Automation product · 2018–2024

At QEngine, I developed the infrastructure for local and cloud execution agents, enterprise private-network access, and cloud Android testing.

Technical leadership · 2020–2023

As technical lead of the QEngine server team, I combined implementation with architectural decisions, reviews, mentoring, and cross-team coordination.

AI agent development · 2024–present

Today I lead agent development in Zoho Creator. I built a page-building agent and its live renderer, contribute to a shared orchestration framework, and work on reliable agent execution.

These chapters overlap. Leadership grew alongside hands-on engineering; quality remains part of how I build.

SELECTED WORK

PRODUCTS, PLATFORMS & THE SYSTEMS BETWEEN THEM

PRODUCT ENGINEERING

From an idea to an editable page

An AI page-building agent, a custom markup language, and a preview that renders as the model writes.

End-to-end development

PLATFORM ARCHITECTURE

A shared foundation for product agents

Reusable orchestration that lets different agents share execution, conversation, and tool infrastructure.

Key architectural contributor

DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS

Execution across cloud and private networks

Local and cloud agents, cross-platform runtimes, and a path into enterprise networks.

Server team technical lead, 2020–2023

OPERATIONAL ARCHITECTURE

Giving long-running agents their own runtime

Moving agent execution off the main application server while keeping the product experience connected.

Runtime migration and integration

WHAT CONNECTS THE CHAPTERS

Understand it deeply.
Build it thoughtfully.
Help others go further.

Testing taught me to question behavior. Automation taught me to build reusable tools. Platform work taught me to think across boundaries. Today, those lessons shape the agents and interfaces I develop.
