About
I make machines write code. Then ship it.
10+ years building ML systems, data infrastructure, and AI products. I’ve been Head of ML twice, built data platforms from scratch, and shipped production systems across startups and foundations.
What I Do
AI Coding Agents — LLM workflows, multi-agent orchestration, RAG systems. I’ve been trying to make computers write code since 2017. Now I build agentic platforms for enterprise clients and write about it at programsynthesis.pub.
Data Infrastructure — Pipelines, warehouses, knowledge graphs. ETL systems, migrations, making messy data usable. The hard part is never scale - it’s understanding what the data means before you touch it.
ML in Production — Training models is the easy part. Shipping them is the job. Reinforcement learning for physical systems, recommendation engines, graph neural networks.
Full Stack — Backend, frontend, infra, deployment. When needed, I build the whole thing.
