I keep the ML models running
so the product can pretend it's magic.
MLOps Engineer & Software Engineer at Melio AI. I build the pipelines, infrastructure, and deployment systems that sit between an AI model working in a notebook and actually working in production.
I'm a software engineer who ended up deep in ML infrastructure - which means I spend most of my time thinking about how AI/ML models get built, deployed, monitored, and scaled, rather than the models themselves.
At Melio AI I work across AWS SageMaker pipelines, ML model registries, CI/CD workflows, and overall architectures. The goal is always the same: make the gap between "it works on my machine" and "it works for users" as small as possible.
Before going deep on MLOps, I was a software developer at Discovery Limited building Java/Spring Boot backend systems. Before that, I tutored AI and Theory of Computation at UKZN - which is either a great foundation or a warning sign, depending on who you ask.
Open to interesting conversations about ML infrastructure, backend systems, or side projects. Not open to scope creep - there's an app for that.
