About

I'm Ganesh Chand. I build AI and data systems for a living — and I write here to figure out what I actually think about them.

My roots are in data engineering. Scala, Spark, lakehouse architectures, distributed compute. I spent years building pipelines and contributing to open source projects like Delta Lake. That work taught me how to think about systems — reliability, failure modes, the gap between a design and what actually runs in production.

These days, I work on agentic systems and AI-powered applications. The problems are different now. The systems I build don't just move data — they interpret it, make decisions, and collaborate with humans. That shift demands a different kind of engineering: human-in-the-loop design, evaluation frameworks, and the hard questions about trust that sit between a demo and a product.

This site is where I think out loud. I challenge my own assumptions, document what I'm learning, and share what's working with other builders. If something here is useful to you, that's the whole point.

When I'm not coding or thinking about AI, you'll find me trekking in the Himalayas.
