I build AI systems that survive contact with production.

I’m Mitiku Yohannes, a machine learning engineer and team lead. My work spans document intelligence, retrieval, LLM systems, computer vision, evaluation, and the infrastructure needed to make models useful in the real world.

01 · About

From research ideas to production systems.

I work at the intersection of machine learning research and software engineering. I enjoy problems where model quality is only one part of the challenge: data quality, evaluation, latency, observability, deployment, and maintainable system design matter just as much.

My background spans computer vision, NLP, language models, representation learning, model evaluation, and production ML. I also lead engineers and help turn ambiguous technical goals into measurable, reliable systems.
