AI Infrastructure Engineer

Keeping production systems up since 2012, now bringing that experience to AI infrastructure. I work where models meet production: inference performance, Kubernetes and reliable AI platforms.

Selected work

01

Production engineering in a regulated environment, with a focus on the point where model performance meets real traffic. These examples describe my contribution, not the work of an entire team.

  1. Measuring LLM performance at scale

    The problem. Understand how model endpoints behave under sustained concurrent streaming traffic, beyond single-request benchmarks.

    My contribution. Designed, built, deployed and operated a distributed Locust load generator on ECS, driving approximately 10,000 simulated concurrent users against models served on A100/H100 hardware.

    The output. Analysis of time to first token, time to first 100 tokens, token throughput and streaming stability, used to inform capacity and sizing decisions.

    I owned the harness, methodology and analysis. A partner team deployed and operated the model-serving stack.

  2. Reliability for production AI/ML platforms

    Operate and support services on EKS, SageMaker, EMR and Databricks. My work covers SLOs, error budgets, incident response and capacity planning, including the on-call rotation that carries those commitments.

  3. Platform integration for incident triage

    Integrated MCP servers and multi-tool orchestration into an agentic incident-triage platform, with attention to the permission model governing access to production systems.

I write about this work as I go: the pieces below cover agentic architecture, RAG economics and running MCP servers in production.
