Data Infrastructure for Production AI
Practical writing on AI data engineering, feature stores, and the infrastructure choices that determine whether AI systems work in production.
Every AI agent system eventually faces the same problem. You have built a capable language model. You want it to interact with your tools, your data, your APIs. So you write a custom integration layer
Data quality failures are expensive and silent. A broken pipeline does not crash — it produces wrong data that flows into dashboards, models, and decisions. The error is discovered weeks later when a
A hospital system with twelve facilities and 14,000 clinical staff wanted to use large language models to assist with clinical documentation. Physicians spent an average of two hours per day on docume
Google's 2015 paper "Hidden Technical Debt in Machine Learning Systems" described a problem that has only gotten worse in the decade since. The paper's central observation was that the model itself is
AI systems fail differently than traditional software. A traditional software bug produces incorrect output deterministically -- the same input always produces the same wrong output, and a fix elimina
The majority of enterprise AI strategies are built on an implicit assumption: that the organization's data is ready to support AI workloads. The assumption is almost always wrong. Data that is adequat
You have received a form letter. The salutation reads "Dear [Name]." The body discusses "your recent [transaction] at [location]." Somewhere near the bottom is a handwritten name and address, inserted
You have signed off on an AI initiative. Your team has a real workflow in mind — say, triaging inbound operations tickets, drafting first-pass vendor reviews, or reconciling exception cases across thr
