Hongming Zhao

AI engineer in Singapore. Nine years building production systems in regulated banking — OCBC, Trust Bank, DBS — now building multi-agent LLM systems end to end.

I build evaluation in from the start: golden sets, multi-model comparison, and designing for failure modes instead of assuming model output is correct.
