Production systems running unattended on self-hosted and edge infra

Applied AI Engineer

I build systems that survive contact with production.

Day to day that is system design — where state lives, how pieces fail, what must be measured.

Selected Work

Three systems, designed, built, and run end-to-end.

About

What sets the work apart isn't a notebook of experiments — it's pipelines that run unattended, fail closed, and correct themselves when they drift.

BSCS. I design and ship end-to-end systems: ingest messy real-world data, rank it, generate with constraints, and run the result unattended.

Previously field-service diagnostics (mechanical systems); same isolation loop, now applied to software and models.
