ABOUT ME

Hi, I’m Louis Lu – NZLouis is my personal brand

A full-stack Software Engineer & AI specialist with 10+ years of experience delivering efficient, scalable systems across industries. I bridge software engineering and applied machine learning, from project planning to coding, testing, deployment, and ongoing optimization.

I blend full-stack development with machine learning: end-to-end training, MLOps, and deploying inference services. I’ve shipped FastAPI services wrapping Hugging Face models, built telemetry for drift and performance monitoring, and delivered clean web UIs that make model outputs actionable for product teams.

Impact: Reduced inference latency and infra cost with quantization, batching, and autoscaling; aligned metrics with product KPIs.
MLOps: CI/CD pipelines, containerized deployments, observability (logs, traces, model metrics) for reliable releases.
UX: Built data-aware UIs so non-ML stakeholders can evaluate outputs, compare versions, and give feedback quickly.
Domains: Real estate, banking, insurance, and equities—prioritizing reliability, compliance, and measurable value.
