Hi, I'm Christopher Bentson, a Senior AI Engineer focused on building scalable backend systems and production-ready AI infrastructure. Over the past 9+ years I've shipped robust software across data pipelines, ML model serving, and multi-tenant LLM platforms, delivering reliable performance on Kubernetes and GPU clusters. I enjoy owning AI features end-to-end—from data ingestion and model serving to APIs and UI—driving impact for millions of users. I've led end-to-end RAG pipelines, tool integrations with Claude and OpenAI for agentic workflows, and collaborated across product and design to ship practical AI solutions.…Hi, I'm Christopher Bentson, a Senior AI Engineer focused on building scalable backend systems and production-ready AI infrastructure.
