Summary
Raz Besaleli is an ML Systems Engineer and NLP researcher with 14 years of experience building resilient, interpretable machine learning infrastructure and monitoring for real-world language systems. Currently at Mozilla.ai and consulting independently, he designs architectures that prioritize observability and robustness to semantic drift and pragmatic failure between humans and LLMs. Previously he led AI at Seek AI through an acquisition by IBM and has academic grounding in computational linguistics and systems engineering from Montclair State and Johns Hopkins. Raz combines hands-on production engineering with research into how language "fractures under pressure," making him skilled at turning messy linguistic behavior into auditable, maintainable AI systems.
