The Art of Interface Design: Making Good APIs that Scale
Why Well-Designed Interfaces Are Your Team’s Secret Weapon
As I’ve led engineering and data science teams across companies like Google, LinkedIn, and now as VP of Engineering & Data Science, I’ve observed a pattern: teams that invest in thoughtful interface design consistently outperform those that don’t. The most expensive technical debt i...
Beyond Algorithms: 3 Books That Shaped My AI Career (And Could Help Yours Too)
When I reflect on my journey in AI and machine learning, I notice a significant divide between what I learned in formal education and what actually proved valuable in the industry. While academic programs excel at teaching mathematical foundations and theoretical concepts, I’ve found that some of the most career-accelerating knowledge comes from...
Quality Assurance for AI
Traditional software quality assurance relies on predictable, deterministic behavior—the same input always produces the same output. But AI systems fundamentally break this assumption, creating a new challenge for quality assurance. This document outlines how to adapt QA practices for the AI era through effective evaluation and annotation system...
Bootstrapping AI Systems with Synthetic Data: 4 Approaches
Every AI practitioner has faced this frustrating cycle: better models attract more users, whose interactions yield data to further improve the model. But how do you start this flywheel when you have zero user data?
The solution lies in synthetic data generation - creating artificial yet realistic data to kickstart your AI systems before real us...
