AI AIOps DevOps Infra Writing

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 AI and production engineering — designing LLM-powered applications, building AIOps infrastructure on AWS, and building DevOps and best practices for engineers. I also write about AI and data science on Medium and Substack.
