Speaking profile

On stage & in the community.

I give technical talks that respect the audience's intelligence and their time — turning MLOps, LLM observability, and the messy reality of production ML into something people can use.

Topics

What I speak on.

  • 01

    LLM Observability & Evaluation

    Making generative systems transparent and accountable — tracing, metrics, and evals that tell you what's actually happening.

  • 02

    MLOps in Production

    Taking models from notebook to reliable production: lifecycle, tooling, and the unglamorous engineering that makes ML dependable.

  • 03

    Data Workflows & Quality

    Curation, annotation, and pipelines that don't rot — the data foundations everything else stands on.

  • 04

    Building a Career in Data

    Practical, honest guidance for engineers growing into ML — from first steps to standing on a conference stage.

    You Can't Improve What You Can't See: Making LLMs Transparent & Accountable

    ML Conference · Munich, Germany November 27, 2025

    Large language models fail in quiet, expensive ways. This talk makes the case that observability and rigorous evaluation aren't add-ons but the foundation of trustworthy LLM systems — how to instrument, trace, and hold generative models accountable so teams can actually improve what they ship.

    Streamlining Data Workflows with Voxel51 and Label Studio

    ML Conference · Munich, Germany November 28, 2025

    A hands-on workshop on building efficient, high-quality data pipelines for ML — using Voxel51 for dataset curation and visualization alongside Label Studio for annotation, and wiring them into a workflow teams can actually maintain.

    Managing Machine Learning Life Cycles with MLflow

    ML Conference / devmio November 27, 2023

    From experiment tracking to model registry and deployment: a practical look at using MLflow to bring order to the ML lifecycle, so models move from notebook to production without losing reproducibility along the way.

Feedback

What organizers & audiences say.

  • One of those rare talks that made a genuinely hard topic feel obvious. I left with things I could apply the next morning.
