An AI system has to fit the data, hardware, budget, and people operating it. I work across those layers, from a focused software implementation to infrastructure and deployment involving several teams.

From a problem to an implementation

Slow inference might be a model problem, a batching problem, or a hardware bottleneck. Unreliable results might start in the data pipeline. I investigate the actual failure before choosing what to change.

My work includes production data pipelines, LLM systems, and an in-house GPU experimentation lab. I can implement independently, join your engineers, or lead the team. Selected work describes my contribution to those systems.

Architecture & deployment

Production MLOps, local inference, evaluation, observability, CI/CD, and operational ownership need to be considered together. The right architecture depends on what you need to achieve and the resources you can provide.

Services, discovery, and hourly rates explain how we start. If you already know what needs attention, book a call or email me.

Headroom

This queueing model illustrates why spare capacity matters. It is an idealized M/M/1 queue, not a benchmark of a client system.

Latency under load: M/M/1 queueing curveMean latency as a multiple of base service time, as a function of utilization, following the M/M/1 queueing formula latency = 1/(1-utilization). A system running at 55% utilization and one running at 90% both absorb the same 10% traffic increase differently: the provisioned system's latency rises 14%, from 2.2x to 2.5x base service time; the reactive system's latency rises 900%, from 10.0x to 100.0x, off the plotted scale.25%50%75%90%1x2x4x6x8x10x12xutilization (arrival rate / capacity)latency (× base service time)provisioned · 2.2xreactive · 10.0x+10% traffic → 2.5x+10% traffic → 100x, off chart
fig. 1 · M/M/1 queueing: latency as a multiple of base service time, vs. utilization. Two systems see the same +10% traffic increase: the one with headroom absorbs it (+14% latency); the one running hot does not (+900%, off the chart). The curve isn't illustrating this · it's the actual formula, latency = 1/(1−utilization).
