Selected work

From traces to verified simulations Synthetic billing-agent traces and policy failures become Taskify scenarios, which run in isolated Harbor trials before a verifier checks the resulting world state and produces a report. Agent traces Detect policy failures Taskify scenario Capture input + state Harbor trial Isolated replay State verifier Check state + report From evidence to a repeatable trial Synthetic billing demo

AgentOps Simulation Loop

A reference implementation connecting synthetic billing-agent traces to reproducible scenarios, isolated Harbor trials, and state verification.

About

Rustem Feyzkhanov

Engineering Manager, AI Platform · Bay Area, CA

I’m an engineering manager focused on AI platforms. I lead engineering teams and work on the infrastructure and developer tools behind production AI, with a particular interest in agent evaluation and cloud systems.

I’m an AWS AI Hero, author, and speaker. My work spans agent evaluation, serverless computing, and machine learning infrastructure. Earlier, I built systems for manufacturing inspection and satellite imagery—experience that continues to shape how I think about AI in production.

I wrote Hands-On Serverless Deep Learning with TensorFlow and AWS Lambda and regularly share what I learn through talks, courses, and articles.
