About
Nghiep Pham
AI Engineer · LLMOps & Agentic AI · Climate AI. From lab scientist to production AI.
I started in a chemistry and materials lab, where a result only counts if someone else can reproduce it. I now build AI systems, and I try to hold them to the same standard: measured, evaluated, and boring to operate.
What I work on
- AI engineering in production: LLM evaluation, quality gates, agents and tool design, LLMOps.
- Simulation and physical AI: process simulation, digital twins, sim-to-real.
- Climate and materials: where machine learning meets chemistry and climate science.
What I am studying now
- Data structures and algorithms in Java (GTx CS1332x)
- Linear algebra and ML foundations
- AWS Solutions Architect Professional (SAP-C03)
- Climate Change AI coursework

Lab to Prod is written in public and published by a pipeline that is itself the project: drafts are prepared with Claude Code, checked by automated validation, approved by me in a pull request, and posted by GitHub Actions. I read every post before it goes out and I am responsible for what it says. If something here is wrong, please tell me; corrections are added as visible notes, not silent edits.
