Hi, I'm Liza Katz. (aka Lizozom)
I am a Senior Software Engineer and Consultant with over 20 years of experience building large-scale backend systems.
While the industry chases hype, I focus on the complex intersection of Search Infrastructure (Elasticsearch/OpenSearch) and Generative AI. I help companies move RAG and vector search from "promising POC" to scalable production architecture.
Beyond consulting, I believe in demystifying technology. I created the "WTF Are Embeddings?" talk, I deliver workshops, lead hackathons and speak frequently at events like PyCon and BuildStuff.
When I'm not debugging pipelines, I'm designing interiors, listening to ABBA, or negotiating with my three cats: Pita, Chooka, and Chonky.
