Hi there!

My name is Glory1. I'm a Software/Site Reliability Engineer, currently working across the full loop of applied AI systems: training, inference, and scaling them in production.

Some things about me:

  • I studied CS at the University of Eastern Finland.
  • I started out as an FDE2, shipping product in PHP back when that was the default stack, then running it myself: racking, networking, Linux/Windows, up through the app layer.
  • I also built applied AI systems elsewhere: RAG pipelines and search inference services running at scale behind an API.
  • I built products and automation at Invisible Technologies, plus the human-data side of LLM training: an annotation platform for data collection, and SFT/RLHF/RLAIF annotation myself.
  • I worked on robotics systems at UEF Robotics Club.
  • I love building things that are robust, well-designed, and insanely useful.
  • I think too much software is disposable and poorly made. I try not to add to that pile, and I read documentation.
  • I'm drawn to open source (think Linux, FFmpeg): the idea that great software should be shared and improved in public.

Some things I'm interested in:

  • Robotics and autonomous systems. The intersection of software, hardware, and intelligence is where the most interesting engineering problems live.
  • Infrastructure and distributed systems, and everything that keeps things fast and fault-tolerant.
  • AI/ML, especially training pipelines and making models genuinely useful in production.
  • First-principles thinking across energy, compute, hardware, physics, history, philosophy, and well the threads that tie them together.

Check out my portfolio, reading, alpha and deep dives.

  2. FDE = Forward Deployed Engineer: embedded on-site to build and ship directly against complex system. Mine was healthcare, so read: heavy compliance, strict determinism, zero room for flaky behavior.

I hang out at various places online.
