What I'm working on this month.

A /now page: what I'm focused on, not what I've already done.

At Inument

Leading the AI engineering team. Right now that means three things: deepening the evaluation harness around the LLM analytics platform, hardening the Responsible AI governance layer for what's coming next, and getting two recent hires ready for the senior on-call rotation.

On the side

  • · Drafting the first essay for /writing, on LLM systems that look healthy on every dashboard and are quietly failing anyway
  • · Writing up detailed case studies for the engagements summarized at /work
  • · Just wrapped a Master of Technology Management at Memorial University of Newfoundland, and sharpening how I frame the strategy and management side now that the coursework is behind me

Available for

One new external engagement starting Q3 2026. Architecture review, fractional CTO advisory, or a hands-on AI engineering lead. The right fit is a regulated-industry build that has to actually ship, not just demo well. If that sounds like you, send me your roadmap.

Reading

Re-reading Designing Data-Intensive Applications, mostly for the stream-processing chapter, which is feeding an internal architecture decision. Also on the desk: every Anthropic and Microsoft Research paper on LLM eval methodology from the last 90 days.

This page updates monthly. Email contact@nirjash.com if something here intersects with what you're building.
