I build applied AI/ML systems. Currently co-founding VEZRAN — agentic AI for security operations. Previously: Senior Data Scientist at Starbucks and FedEx. Half my career was pre-LLM ML.

Focused on multi-agent systems and RAG pipelines that survive contact with production. I write about the unglamorous parts — eval design, infrastructure, what actually ships.
