Forward Deployed Engineer @Baseten Specializing in Voice AI, Previously Computer Vision @Google Maps
Ian Carrasco is a forward deployed engineer at Baseten, where he focuses on deploying and optimizing models across the voice stack, including text-to-speech, transcription, and voice agents. He also builds tooling to improve evaluation and observability workflows for voice agents. Previously, he built agents for cross-platform development at FlutterFlow, and before that worked at Google on computer vision and data engineering projects for building high-definition maps at scale.
From Speech Models to Voice Agents
Voice agents bring natural conversation to everyday workflows by coordinating three distinct workloads: speech recognition processes continuous audio, a language model reasons and calls tools, and speech synthesis generates audio that must keep pace with playback.
