Hi, I'm Pats Laurel.
Building AI systems that actually work in production
About
I build AI systems for real problems. Most of my work involves taking research ideas and making them work reliably at scale. I've spent years figuring out why models break in production, how to make RAG systems that don't hallucinate, and building AI agents that can handle edge cases. I care more about systems that work than systems that sound impressive in demos. I also enjoy sharing knowledge through talks at conferences, universities, and tech communities.
