Building the platforms & infrastructure AI runs on

About

I work in the unglamorous middle layer of AI — turning research and prototypes into systems teams can depend on. 0→1 is my default: ML platforms, agentic and GenAI infrastructure, and the whole path to production.

The part I love is the bridge — making research-stage ideas hold up and scale, including the bits people skip: governance, cost, adoption.

Outside that: a bike, a race, travel, or a new language (not the programming kind).

Writing

Eudexia — An LLM-based AI Assistant

A RAG assistant that lets teams query their own private documentation in plain language and get answers grounded in real sources — collapsing a 30-minute hunt across thousands of internal docs into under a minute. Covers the architecture: embeddings, vector search, LLM reasoning, and an auto-scaling ingestion pipeline on AWS.

Network Observability Framework

The data layer underneath: an open-source, cloud-agnostic observability stack (Prometheus, Thanos, Loki) that collects logs and metrics from a Kubernetes cluster and feeds them to the RL agent in near real time.

Self-Perfecting Networks

How a reinforcement-learning agent can act as the brain of a 5G network that tunes itself — a closed-loop system where the agent observes a simulated 5G core running as a Kubernetes app and adjusts resources to balance service quality against cost.

Open Source Machine Learning Architecture for Telco

A modular, open-source ML framework spanning the full lifecycle — ingestion, data prep, training, deployment — built so teams can swap compute backends without re-plumbing. Applied to anomaly detection on Kubernetes performance logs.
