Building AI Agents with LLMs and Custom ML Models: The Blueprint for Enterprise-Ready Autonomy

Introduction: The Rise of Hybrid AI Agents AI agents are rapidly emerging as the next abstraction layer for enterprise artificial intelligence. Rather than interacting with models directly, organizations are beginning to deploy systems that can perceive inputs, reason over context, and take action with limited human intervention. Large language models have accelerated this shift dramatically,... Continue Reading →

The Classification Task: From Data to Decisions

In the first article, I focused on how a data science repository is structured and why that structure supports MLOps practices like repeatability, traceability, and safe iteration. In this follow-on post, I want to zoom in on the machine learning problem itself: the classification task implemented in the repository. The goal here is not to... Continue Reading →

AI Governance and AI Observability in the Microsoft Stack: Building AI You Can Trust

Artificial intelligence has entered a phase where models are no longer the center of gravity, behaviors are. We’re deploying systems that reason, retrieve, act, and adapt in real time. They generate content, make decisions, and increasingly operate as semi‑autonomous agents woven into everyday business processes. This shift has opened extraordinary opportunities, but it has also...

When Machine Learning Repositories Are Designed Like Software Systems

In a continuation of capturing lessons learned while getting my Master’s in Data Science from Boston University, I wanted to focus on how to create a real world project that is repeatable. Most machine learning projects don’t fail because the model is bad. They fail because the project can’t be reproduced, automated, or safely evolved... Continue Reading →

The Agentic Era: Why Autonomous AI Agents Will Transform How We Work, Build, and Think

Generative AI is evolving into autonomous AI agents that can independently accomplish tasks with minimal human oversight. These agents streamline work processes by executing decisions and actions autonomously, significantly reducing operational delays. Currently, over half of companies have adopted these systems, which are projected to grow dramatically in market value. However, this increased autonomy necessitates stringent governance to prevent chaos and ensure accountability, marking a shift from mere assistance to achieving concrete outcomes in workflows.
