ML & Data Science
Model deployment, MLOps, anomaly detection, recommendation systems. From Isolation Forest ensembles to fine-tuned foundation models — PyTorch to production with full observability.
What you get back
- 1. Diagnosis What works, what is blocked, and why.
- 2. Recommendation Audit, advisory, sprint, or pause.
- 3. Scope Next action, boundaries, and timing.
Machine Learning That Ships to Production
From Isolation Forest ensembles to fine-tuned foundation models — we take models from notebook to production with full observability, A/B testing, and automated retraining.
Typical engagement starts when
- a model concept looks promising, but the team needs a production path with monitoring, rollback, and evaluation before launch
- anomaly detection, ranking, or classification is affecting live workflows and the current heuristics are no longer holding up
- the organization has enough data and product pressure to justify ML, but not enough operational rigor around training and serving yet
- leadership needs to know whether this is truly a model problem, a retrieval problem, or a rules problem before more effort compounds
What We Build
| Capability | What We Deliver |
|---|---|
| Anomaly detection | Isolation Forest, autoencoders, and hybrid ML/FM systems for real-time threat detection |
| Recommendation engines | Collaborative filtering and content-based systems with online learning |
| MLOps pipelines | MLflow experiment tracking, model registry, and automated deployment |
| Foundation model fine-tuning | LoRA, QLoRA, and full fine-tuning for domain-specific performance |
When to Use This
| If Your Situation Is | Then We Recommend |
|---|---|
| Detecting insider threats, fraud, or anomalies in streaming data | Isolation Forest + foundation model reasoning (healthcare pattern) |
| Recommending products, content, or actions from user behavior | Collaborative filtering + online learning pipeline |
| Need domain-specific LLM performance beyond base model capabilities | LoRA / QLoRA fine-tuning with evaluation benchmarks |
| Models in production but no visibility into drift or degradation | MLflow + Prometheus observability + automated retraining triggers |
| Classifying documents, images, or text across multiple languages | Multi-language NLP pipeline (StanfordNLP + custom extractors) |
| Still deciding between ML and a rules-based system | AI Strategy Advisory — assess data readiness first |
Engineering Standards
- Model versioning and experiment tracking via MLflow
- A/B testing infrastructure for model rollouts
- Automated retraining triggers based on data drift detection
- Production monitoring with Prometheus and Grafana
These controls matter because ML systems usually fail at the operational layer first: no clear rollback, no drift visibility, and no agreement on when a model should stop serving production traffic.
Common failure patterns we fix
- teams fine-tuning or retraining models before proving the data, labeling, or evaluation setup is strong enough
- promising notebook results with no production path for rollback, observability, or safe rollout
- models serving live traffic without drift detection, threshold review, or clear ownership when quality degrades
- ML introduced where retrieval, rules, or product changes would solve the problem more simply
- recommendation or anomaly systems tuned for offline metrics while production feedback loops stay weak or invisible
What you leave with
- an ML architecture matched to the real business signal and production operating constraints
- evaluation, rollout, and monitoring criteria that make model changes governable instead of subjective
- serving, retraining, and rollback paths the internal team can operate without guessing
- a clearer decision on where ML belongs in the system and where deterministic logic should still win
Best Fit
- Team already has enough data volume, signal quality, and operational need to justify production ML
- Use case depends on anomaly detection, ranking, classification, or domain-specific model performance
- Engineering leadership wants experiment tracking, versioning, monitoring, and rollback handled as part of the system
- Model outputs affect live product behavior, risk scoring, or analyst workflows and therefore need production discipline
