Hi, I'm Tom — an AI Engineer with 10 years of experience in tech, based in New York City. I'm currently building brightplace.

My work sits at the intersection of machine learning and production engineering — designing LLM-powered applications, building MLOps infrastructure on AWS, and deploying scalable AI services on Kubernetes. I also write about AI and data science on Medium.

Feel free to reach out if you'd like to collaborate or just say hi!
