01 · Profile

Applied AI, all the way to production.

I design and scale production GenAI and LLM ecosystems, with a focus on multimodal RAG, structured extraction, retrieval quality, and trustworthy evaluation.

My foundation is in C++ and computer vision, including segmentation, detection, tracking, and foundation models. I extend that work through edge inference, distributed systems, and cloud platforms. That breadth lets me solve the whole problem: data, model, evaluation, infrastructure, and runtime performance.

01

Build for evidence. Evaluation, observability, and benchmarking belong inside the architecture.

02

Engineer the full path. From raw, high-entropy data to a reliable production interface.

03

Optimize where it matters. Retrieval quality, latency, throughput, memory, and cost.

02 · Expertise

Systems that reason, retrieve, and scale.
