AI systems • Manufacturing • Ideas • Musings
Hi, I’m Sivam. I build AI systems that turn industrial data into practical intelligence. Over the past eight years I’ve worked across machine learning, time-series modeling, and data systems, taking ideas from early research through to deployed products used in real environments. I’m particularly interested in technologies that make industry more autonomous, efficient, and energy-aware.
A few starting points
A small sampler from across the site — one project, one essay, one creative, and one quote.
Project
Eval Sakhi: Making AI Evaluation Less of a Blank Page
Eval Sakhi is an AI evaluation agent that generates structured evaluation plans for any AI project—covering metrics, failure modes, and guardrails—so teams can move beyond “vibe checks” and build reliable systems.
Essay
What Is It That AI Really Unlocks?
From layoffs and fear to intent, abundance, and a new surface area of possibility AI lowers the cost of turning human intent into sustained outcomes
Creative
Who is he?
Huge disparities in the social status of people in a society imply there is a lack of humane values in that society. The disparity hits the worst when a child is not granted his/her right to scale the ladders of education and wealth through social support. Often we become ignorant or worse, blame the government. That may clear us from the feeling of guilt, but never lead to a solution. Journey of a million miles starts with a single step, and here, we are merely talking about making it to a few kilometers. Are we ready to introspect, learn, and make a difference?
