About Me

I am Blake Guo, an ML/AI platform engineer building practical systems for language models, retrieval, data infrastructure, and cloud-native applications.

How I Think About Systems

My background spans large engineering organizations, early-stage ML/AI products, and a PhD in Information Science. I start from the data, understand the constraints, and design for reliability under real production load.

• LLM applications
• retrieval and evaluation
• data infrastructure
• distributed systems
• cloud services

What This Site Is For

I use this site for concise technical notes on ML/AI systems, distributed services, and data platforms: what I am learning, how systems are built, and which tradeoffs hold up in practice.

For questions, corrections, or technical discussion, GitHub Issues is the best place to reach me.
