I start from the user problem, make the system inspectable, and avoid hiding weak evidence behind big language.
About / Career Narrative
I build AI systems that survive contact with users.
I am Somay Kousis, an AI engineer focused on agentic systems, retrieval workflows, and product-grade implementation. I work on orchestration at RYSE Technologies and co-founded Something, where I own frontend, AI architecture, and go-to-market. My strongest work sits where model behavior, state design, and user experience have to agree.
Agentic orchestration, retrieval and memory systems, evaluation harnesses, and deployment-ready product software.
AI Systems Engineer at RYSE Technologies, co-founder of Something, and open to AI engineering work. Building in public throughout.
Role fit
Where I make sense.
01
Applied AI engineering roles where agentic workflows, retrieval, and product implementation overlap.
02
Teams that need someone comfortable moving from messy context or vague product intent into a working system.
03
Early-stage environments where modeling judgment, interface clarity, and shipping discipline all matter.
04
Work where being wrong is expensive, so abstention, evaluation, and audit trails are part of the design rather than added later.
