Enock Mecheo — AI Engineer

Building intelligent systems that solve real-world problems.

I design and deliver machine learning and MLOps systems across distributed data pipelines and production-grade models that scale. This is a showcase of my work bridging research and engineering.

Engineering Intelligence Into Production.

I'm an AI engineer focused on building data-driven, distributed systems: designing robust architectures, optimizing ML workflows, and deploying intelligent solutions that perform reliably at scale.

My background spans distributed computing, streaming algorithms, and large-scale data processing, with deep hands-on experience across the full ML lifecycle: from feature engineering and model training to experiment tracking, containerization, and CI/CD.

DependaFix: Fixing Breaking Dependency Updates with LLMs

First author · Tool Demonstrations Track · ACM FSE 2026

A GitHub App that uses LLM-powered automated program repair to fix breaking dependency updates in CI builds for Java projects, integrated directly into the pull-request workflow.

SafiSend

Restaurant platform I founded, live in production. Its personalization layer ranks each menu per diner using semantic embeddings, collaborative filtering, and from-scratch FP-Growth basket mining, with a cross-restaurant taste profile that solves cold start for anonymous first-time customers. Restaurants onboard by photographing their paper menu, read by a GPT-4o Vision pipeline.

Kaizen

AI-native personal OS whose Coach acts on real data instead of just discussing it. A streaming tool-use loop exposes 12 tools bound to the same service layer the REST API uses, so the agent writes through identical validated paths — behind one provider interface that both Claude and OpenAI implement.
