About

I'm an AI/LLM engineer and researcher based in Dallas, Texas. I build agentic AI systems, RAG pipelines, and trustworthy AI infrastructure, and I publish research on secure agent architectures, MCP security, and hallucination mitigation. Currently at MaxModus. Previously at Goldman Sachs.

Sections on the site

• About — background, current work, education, and research focus
• Experience — professional history
• Publications — research on agentic AI, LLM security, MCP, and RAG
• Achievements — awards and certifications

Stack

Vanilla HTML + Bootstrap 5 + client-side Markdown rendering via marked.js and js-yaml. MathJax for equations. No build step, no framework, no server-side rendering.

Based on StartBootstrap's New Age template.

Local development

Clone and serve — no build step:

git clone https://github.com/sarmishra/sarmishra.github.io.git
cd sarmishra.github.io
python3 -m http.server 8000
# Visit http://localhost:8000

Any static server works. fetch() from file:// URLs is blocked in most browsers, so you must serve rather than open index.html directly.

Editing content

• Change tagline, title, or copyright → edit contents/config.yml. Each YAML key must exactly match a DOM element id in index.html; unrecognized keys are silently ignored (see scripts.js line 40).

• Edit an existing section's text → edit the matching contents/<name>.md.

• Add a new section requires three coordinated edits:

  1. Create contents/<newname>.md
  2. Add '<newname>' to the section_names array in static/js/scripts.js
  3. Add a <section id="<newname>"> block in index.html containing a <div id="<newname>-md"> mount point and, optionally, a <h2 id="<newname>-subtitle"> header

  Skipping any one of these causes the section to silently not render.

Deployment

GitHub Pages auto-deploys from main on push. No CI, no build.
