Stefan Sedich is a Director of AI/ML Infrastructure in San Francisco with 15 years of experience building cloud-native platforms that help data scientists and engineers move models from experiment to production. He founded and scaled Sage AI Labs’ self-service infrastructure, combining hands-on engineering with team leadership to deliver robust, developer-friendly ML tooling. Stefan’s background spans backend and DevOps work across open source projects—contributions to projects like kiam and the Flux Helm Operator show deep expertise in AWS IAM integration, gRPC tuning, and deployment reliability. He brings a pragmatic focus on observability, testing, and operational resilience, having improved APM tracing and dry-run behaviors in production tooling. Comfortable across .NET and cloud-native stacks, he’s equally at home refactoring libraries for testability as he is designing large-scale ML platforms.
