Daniel is a Senior Software Engineer at Google, where he tech-leads, designs and builds forecasting & pricing systems for ads worth billions of dollars. These are distributed systems that run on thousands of machines, process terabytes of data per query and combine Machine Learning modeling with game-like simulation of tens of thousands ad campaigns - all happening in real-time to enable thousands of concurrent users of buying tools like AdWords and DBM.

Daniel wields a rare combination of deep technical skills, a user-centric drive and an ability to align multiple teams towards a common goal - launching and landing high quality cutting edge products.

Daniel co-founded a tech startup that brought machine vision to the consumer photo space 10 years ago, he was an invited speaker at an ML dev conference in Zurich and speaks at startup events regularly. He holds multiple patents with Google, is published in a peer-reviewed ML journal from his time at IBM Research and is a Google Code Jam on-site finalist.

Recently completed Hamel Husain and Shreya Shankar "AI Evals" course on Maven. If you're building AI products and moving beyond proof-of-concepts, this is essential learning.

AI Evals is both "art and science". You need both to ship production systems that deliver consistent value.

Top 3 Learnings from the bootcamp

1. Error Analysis > Generic Benchmarks : Instead of asking "how does this perform overall?" ask "what specific patterns of failure exist?" Systematic error analysis reveals exactly where your system breaks, in RAG retrieval, multi-step reasoning, or domain edge cases. This creates a clear engineering roadmap and eliminates guesswork about where to invest effort.

2. LLM-as-a-Judge Requires Rigor : Using peer LLM to judge outputs isn't enough on its own. The course teaches an iterative process: align with domain experts, build calibration sets, measure reliability, and validate continuously. Continuous calibration is more important than continuous deployment.

3. Know When NOT to Write an Eval : Not everything needs an eval. The key is distinguishing high-leverage evals that unlock rapid iteration from low-ROI vanity metrics. This judgment, understanding trade-offs between eval coverage, velocity, and cost lets you to ship products quickly with “Honest uncertainty”

Essential for anyone responsible for delivering a high-quality AI Product.

What evaluation challenges are you facing? I'd love to compare notes.

A key takeaway from conversations with global AI leaders at Tech Circle 2025: success with agentic AI begins with the purposeful design of human-AI collaboration. When the architecture is intentional, humans and autonomous systems complement each other at their highest leverage.

Thank you Sandhya Ramachandran Arun and the Wipro Intelligence team for organizing Tech Circle 2025.

Grateful to be part of this community as we figure out what responsible enterprise autonomy actually looks like in practice.

AI leaders, researchers, and strategists from global enterprises and research institutes, came together at the Tech Circles at our Kodathi Innovation Lab in Bengaluru.  The theme, "Agentic Enterprises - from Automation to Autonomy", evoked high energy discussions, debates and constructive dialogues. While emphasising the need for pragmatism and the importance of de-risking AI adoption, there was consensus that AI solutions must be both responsible and scalable by design. AI forward enterprises are evolving with both Responsibility and Autonomy edited into their DNA. Most importantly, we concluded that  an AI-First approach to enterprise transformation must be human centric. A big thank you to all our speakers, guests and organizers! #WiproInnovationNetwork #WiproIntelligence 

A big shout out and heart felt thanks to:
