I turn experimental machine learning into systems teams can trust.

From NLP and recommendation systems to production infrastructure that actually stays up. Currently at Ryder AI, focused on the reliability and cost discipline that keep machine learning useful beyond the demo.

Background

I started in NLP and recommendation systems, then moved into production infrastructure where reliability, observability, and cost controls are non-negotiable.

I now help teams move useful ML models from prototypes into dependable production without losing velocity or budget discipline.

From systems and products

Early work at QUT Innovate / Innovation Central Brisbane (2023), building NLP and recommendation systems, then focused on production where stability and cost discipline matter.

Current focus

Production machine learning infrastructure at Ryder AI (2024–present), with emphasis on reliability, observability, and practical cost control.

Operating principle

If it looks good at 9pm and fails at 9am, it still failed. Build for real incidents, not just demos.

Operating principle

If it looks good at 9pm and fails at 9am, it still failed. Build for real incidents, not just demos.

Principles

Core operating principles distilled from real production failures and incident reviews.

Production over prototypes

I value boring reliability over shiny experiments that only work in happy paths.

Reliability before novelty

Rollbacks, tracing, and incident paths are non-negotiable before optimisation.

Cost is a feature

Optimise latency, user value, and spend as one system.

Observability with meaning

Traces and dashboards should make incidents obvious, not mysterious.
