Serj Smorodinsky and his beliefs about building reliable AI systems
Better abstractions. Better systems. More impact.

About

I’m Serj Smorodinsky, a friendly AI architect.

I’m an Applied AI Research Team Lead, author, and educator working across research, product development, technical communication, and engineering systems.

At ContentSquare, I focus on building the culture and code that help teams succeed with data: MLOps practices, data architecture, internal tools, hands-on experimentation, and better technical decisions.

I care about making complex systems useful, ideas clear, and teams effective. That work connects my course, my writing, my open-source projects, and my book on building reliable LLM applications with DSPy.
