Here are some of the talks I gave, mostly around Machine Learning and AI
Vector Search at Scale with Redis
Got to share key learnings of building large-scale vector search with limited resources:
- You can get far without vector DB, keep things simple
- Reuse systems you already have (everyone adds vector support)
- How we integrated VectorDB with rest of ML infra (model gateway, feature store, ML pipelines)

Web3 and AI: from 0 to 100 in ML/AI

At a keynote speech, I shared insights of pragmatism over hype, story of Bolt’s journey from 0 to 100+ ML-powered systems. I even got to juggle mandarins on the stage! 🍊
Engineering Management Meetup @ Pipedrive.
In this talk I shared my journey into management and several ideas how to be more empathetic and effective leader. Tiny sample:
- Read “Turn the ship around” and “5 Dysfunctions of a team”
- to be better at “people skills”, check out hack #13 in the “Captivate” book summary https://www.scienceofpeople.com/captivate-summary/
