# Chaitanya Jha

I'm a Mumbai-based product builder at IIT Patna. I work on the unglamorous parts of AI products: checking whether the model is right, and designing what happens when it isn't.

This summer at IBY in Tokyo, that meant LLM judges you can prove wrong and agents that ask before they act. I wrote about it [here](writing/llm-judges.md).
