Gill
Senior Applied AI Scientist
Vanguard
Deepkamal Kaur Gill is a Senior Applied AI Scientist at Vanguard, where she develops production-grade LLM and agentic AI systems for high-stakes financial applications. Her work spans post-training, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and agentic workflows, helping develop enterprise AI solutions from concept to production. She holds a Master of Computer Science from the University of Toronto and works across the full AI development lifecycle, from synthetic data generation to model post-training, evaluation, and optimization for enterprise applications. She brings a practitioner's perspective on applying cutting-edge AI research to real-world engineering challenges at scale. Beyond her technical work, Deepkamal is a founding member of the ACM-W Toronto chapter and actively contributes to the AI community through mentorship, research, and initiatives supporting women in technology.

Panel | Why do agent systems break in production? The gap between design and reality
As agentic systems become more autonomous, engineering teams must contend with unpredictable behaviour, cascading failures, unreliable tool interactions, changing model performance, and limited visibility into complex decision-making. In this panel, engineering leaders share the lessons learned from deploying AI agents in real-world environments. Explore the architectural patterns, evaluation strategies, and operational practices that help teams build agentic systems that remain reliable, observable, and resilient long after deployment. Key takeaways → The most common reasons agent systems fail in production and how to design around them. → How leading teams evaluate, monitor, and debug increasingly autonomous agents. → Architectural patterns that improve reliability, resilience, and observability at scale. → Lessons learned from deploying agentic systems in real-world production environments.
