About

Technical judgment for ML systems that need to work.

I am a machine learning scientist and engineer working across high-performance ML, NLP, evaluation, and production systems.

My work moves between research, implementation, and advisory review: optimizing large-scale training and inference, evaluating model behavior, and helping teams reason clearly about reliability, performance, model behavior, and deployment risk.

fairgradient.ai is the formal home for that work: technical advisory, public writing, speaking, and selective mentorship for engineers building serious AI systems.

Technical practice

What I work on

The foundation behind the advisory practice: applied ML systems, evaluation, performance, and the engineering discipline needed after a model leaves a notebook.

ML System Optimization

Deep experience with quantization, distillation, and kernel-level tuning to push inference and training performance at scale.

Evaluation & Responsible Deployment

Hands-on work in model evaluation, bias detection, red-teaming, and deployment practices for real-world systems.

Model Architecture & Fine-Tuning

From dataset curation to PEFT/LoRA fine-tuning, building specialized models that solve problems off-the-shelf solutions can't.

MLOps & Production Systems

Building evaluation harnesses, CI/CD pipelines, and serving infrastructure that keep ML systems reliable after launch.
