I build, explain, and share the systems, tools, and lessons that make AI useful in production.
I'm Emerson Braun. I've spent 15 years shipping software across startups and enterprises, and I write for engineers building systems that have to work outside the demo.
Now I focus on the point where AI products become engineering systems: modular runtimes, observable behavior, deliberate evaluation, and governance that teams can actually operate.
