About

Matt Belas

I am an AI engineer based in the Philippines. I build LLM products, agents and automation end to end.

That means the prompt and the evals, the app around them, the deploy and the bill. I like systems that stay cheap to run and easy to explain, and I would rather ship a small thing that works than demo a large one that does not.

Before this I spent years as a senior engineer on SaaS and enterprise web platforms, which is where the habit of building for production comes from.
