Krish Parekh

“I've worked closely with Krish at SMEC AI, and he's one of the most impressive early-career engineers I've come across. He was central to building the AI Information Line, our national free advice service for Australian SMEs, taking it from idea to live production. He works across the full stack (LLM agents, RAG, voice pipelines, AWS) and moves fast without cutting corners. What really sets Krish apart is his hunger to understand things properly. He doesn't just use tools. He reads the papers, digs into architectures, builds prototypes to test his understanding, then writes it up clearly for others in his Depth First newsletter. That combination of curiosity and rigour is rare at any career stage. He takes feedback well, levels up quickly, and raises the bar for everyone around him. Krish has a very big future ahead. Any team would be lucky to get him early.”

“I was introduced to Krish when he was still at university and I was blown away by his quality. Not only is he technically sound but he also has a strong 'product mindset' far beyond many product managers. Krish is an incredibly talented SWE. Hire him if you have a chance.”

“I had the pleasure of working alongside Krish, who made a real impact through his expertise in AI and automation. He was proactive and assertive in identifying opportunities to improve our processes. One of his most valuable contributions was building systems that consolidated and segmented data from the consultations I hosted, making the information easier to analyse and use. Beyond his technical ability, Krish is friendly, approachable and always willing to help. He is a genuine person and a great colleague who brings both capability and positive energy to a team. With his drive, curiosity and forward-thinking approach, I have no doubt he has a bright future in the AI and automation industry.”

“Really enjoyed working with Krish Parekh on our website. He's thoughtful, clever and incredibly accommodating, with a strong ability to think ahead and future-proof what he builds. Makes the whole process seamless and I highly recommend him.”
