Chivon Powers, PhD

AI/ML Engineer · Data Scientist

I build AI systems, ML models, and data products that hold up in production.

Agentic pipelines. Predictive modeling. Statistical experimentation. Evaluation-first, always.

What I build

LLM systems. Predictive models. Data products. Architecture through deployment.

How I think

Evaluation-first. If the system can't be measured, it's not ready to ship.

Featured build

Systems designed, shipped, and evaluated.

Applied AI and ML, designed and shipped end to end.

Interview Agent

Live

A retrieval-augmented assistant grounded in my CV and project work. Ask it anything about my background: it retrieves relevant context, cites its sources, and streams a response.

Approach

The way I work.

Practical habits, not philosophy.

Evaluation before scale

I design test suites before I build production systems. If I can't measure it, I don't ship it.

Iteration over perfection

Working version first. Measure it. Fix the failure modes. Repeat.

Human oversight by design

Agentic systems need intervention points. Built in from the start, not after.

Scope discipline

Clear inputs. Clear outputs. Clear success criteria. Then code.

About

Outside the terminal.

The professional details live on the experience page. This is the rest.

Builder

I build things digitally and physically. DIY carpentry and construction projects keep me honest about what I actually know how to do.

Colorado

Mountain lifestyle. Staying active, getting outside, and genuinely good air.

Healthy living

A real priority, not a weekend thing. Keeps everything else sharper.

Cats

Two of them. Entirely indifferent to my deployment schedule.
