About

I build production AI systems that work at scale, and I build the teams and platforms that make it possible. At Booking.com, I architected the LLM-powered summarization pipeline for Customer Service. 15,000+ agents use it daily. I took accuracy from 60% to 95%+ and designed a Judge LLM evaluation framework that cut our iteration cycle by 7x. I built this hands-on. I still write code, design systems, and debug production issues. What drives me: • Building ML systems that are reliable, not just impressive. Production-grade, with SLAs and monitoring. • Evaluation frameworks that let teams iterate with confidence (Judge LLM: weeks to days) • Platform thinking. I built modular AI infrastructure that lets 3+ teams self-serve and ship independently. • Closing the gap between "works in a notebook" and "works in production at scale" • Growing engineers, from onboarding through tech lead, with real mentoring and stretch assignments I've shipped production AI across the full stack: LLM summarization, intelligent voice routing, automated quality assessment. I coordinate across 5 vendor engineering teams through clear architecture, solid APIs, and technical influence that scales beyond org charts. Before Booking: CTO & Co-Founder at Dwellbird (built the entire platform from zero), 3rd engineer at Recruiterbox (scaled team from 3 to 30+), Tech Lead at ClassKlap (500K+ students, 1,500 schools). 13 years building production systems, from founding engineer to technical leader. Side projects: ClawMetry (clawmetry.com), an AI agent observability dashboard, hit #5 on Product Hunt on launch day alongside Anthropic's Claude Sonnet 4.6 VedicVoice (vedicvoice.app), a Sanskrit digital library with AI-powered TTS & ASR. HeyMaya (heymaya.app), a voice-controlled AI music DJ built in one week with Claude Code. Open to senior technical leadership roles, whether building teams or building systems at scale.
