About

I'm Brian, an AI Data Engineer at WorldLink US. I build production ML and LLM systems on Databricks: Delta pipelines, MLflow registries, model serving, and the promotion workflows that get a model from a notebook to something a thousand people can query.

I write here because explaining a system is the fastest way to find out whether I actually understand it. Most of what's on this site is long-form and sourced: Databricks platform deep dives, partner architecture, the seam between LLMs and BI, and the occasional honest book review.

I also contribute to Databricks Labs' OntoBricks, where debugging an event-loop stall in someone else's production codebase taught me more than any tutorial has.

The case studies, code, and credentials live on my portfolio.
