I’m Isuru Alagiyawanna, currently the Head of AI Engineering at Veracity Group, where I lead multiple teams across NLP, Computer Vision, and Data Analytics to build AI products that actually ship and scale.
I’m also the Founder of Zuu Crew AI, a hands-on ML & AI engineering academy focused on turning learners into production-ready ML engineers – not just tutorial finishers.

Over the past years I’ve:
- Built LLM and agentic AI–powered systems for real-world use cases (RAG, workflow automation, voice agents, decision support tools).
- Led end-to-end AI projects from data → models → MLOps → deployment, especially in telecom, finance, and operations.
- Taught and spoken at meetups, bootcamps, and conferences on Generative AI, LLMs, and Agentic Workflows – including talks on how to take models from notebooks to production.
- Been awarded an AWS Machine Learning Engineer Nanodegree Scholarship (Udacity).
- Completed 150 Coursera Certifications & 50 DeepLearning.AI Certifications.
I care about two things a lot:
(1) Making AI systems reliable in production, and
(2) Making advanced ML concepts understandable for engineers, founders, and students.
Outside of my full-time role and teaching, I also work with teams and founders on:
- LLM & Agentic AI Consulting – designing RAG/agentic architectures, context engineering, and evaluation strategies.
- Production ML & MLOps – helping teams move from POCs to stable, observable production systems.
- Architecture & Codebase Reviews – reviewing ML/LLM pipelines, repos, and data flows for robustness and scalability.
- Workshops & Internal Upskilling – custom sessions for engineering / product teams on LLMs, agentic workflows, and production ML.
