Systems Over Scripts

"Accuracy is not production readiness. I build robust, modular architectures that transition seamlessly from notebooks to reliable serving layers."

02_

Reproducibility & Evaluation

"Evaluation-driven ML systems are more important than complex models. I implement strict testing to ensure every model update is backed by rigorous regression metrics."

03_

Deployment-Aware AI Design

"From dataset to Docker container—inference latency and horizontal scalability are first-class citizens in my design process."

Why most ML projects fail in production

The gap between code that runs and systems that perform. Many teams focus on the model (the code) while neglecting the data flywheel, monitoring, and reproducible infrastructure.

Evaluation > Accuracy

A model with 99% accuracy but high latency or bias in long-tail scenarios is often useless. Real-world performance is defined by how well your evaluation metrics align with business outcomes.

LLM reasoning vs prompting

Stop fighting the prompt; start designing the reasoning loop. Better results come from architectural structure (like Chain of Thought or Agentic patterns) rather than just adding more adjectives to a prompt.

Shipping vs experimenting

Exploration is essential, but shipping is the goal. I prioritize MVP architectures that allow for rapid experimentation within a production-ready framework.
