AI Engineering
— production-grade

We build, deploy and run AI systems that survive real traffic — LLMOps and MLOps pipelines, evaluation-driven development, enterprise AI APIs and infrastructure sized for cost and latency.

Status quo · late 2026

What has changed — and why it matters now

01

Evals are the new unit tests

Nothing ships without an evaluation suite — golden datasets, LLM-as-judge with calibration, regression gates in CI.

02

Multi-model is normal

Routing across Anthropic, OpenAI, Google and open-weight models by task, cost and residency through a gateway is standard architecture.

03

Observability matured

Traces of prompts, tools, retrievals and costs per request; drift and quality monitoring feed back into evals.

How we approach it

Our method for AI Engineering

01ArchitectureGateway, retrieval, orchestration, storage, security and observability designed together.
02BuildPrompt and agent code under version control, eval suites, CI/CD for models and prompts.
03DeployServerless or GPU inference, autoscaling, caching, rate limits, regional residency.
04OperateMonitoring, cost dashboards, incident playbooks, model and prompt lifecycle.
05OptimiseRouting, distillation, fine-tuning, quantisation, prompt compression.
In depth

The LLMOps / MLOps stack

Data & features

Lakehouse, feature store, labelling, synthetic data.

Training & tuning

Fine-tuning (LoRA), RLHF/DPO where justified, experiment tracking, registry.

Evaluation

Task metrics, groundedness, safety, bias, latency, cost — automated in CI.

Serving

Gateways, routers, caching, streaming, fallback across providers.

Observability & governance

Tracing, drift, audit logs, lineage from prompt to output.
