Building production-ready AI systems and sharing practical field notes on LLMs, RAG, agents, evaluation, and governance.

I’m Vamsi, a builder focused on production AI systems. I write Production AI Field Notes to break down the architecture behind reliable LLM apps, RAG, agents, multi-agent workflows, evaluation, observability, safety, and governance. My goal is simple: help builders move beyond impressive AI demos and design systems that can be tested, operated, trusted, and improved in the real world.
