We are building Determina for teams shipping serious AI systems.
Determina is an early company started by Alankrit Verma and Murphy Lee. We are building the infrastructure layer for rehearsing AI behavior before release, with the discipline of engineering tools and the urgency of real product teams.
AI behavior rehearsal, evidence, and release judgment.
founders
The people building it.
Co-founder
Alankrit Verma
Alankrit works across machine learning systems, product engineering, and AI evaluation. He studies Computer Science at the University of Toronto, has built recommender infrastructure at PlayStation, and founded GenAI Genesis.
Murphy is a software engineer and Computer Science student at the University of Toronto. His public engineering background includes Coinbase, Cloudflare, Amazon, and theScore.
We have lived the gap between demos, model metrics, and release decisions.
Our work sits where ML systems, infrastructure, product judgment, and customer trust meet. That is the founder-level bet behind Determina: make AI release behavior observable, reviewable, and hard to hand-wave.
how we work
Small, technical, and direct.
builder-led
We are close to the code, the product surface, and the customer problem.
small team
We want high-agency people who can own ambiguous technical work end to end.
serious AI
We care about systems that should be trusted before they affect real users.
join us
Help us build the release infrastructure AI teams should already have.
We are looking for unusually strong builders who want responsibility early. If you can move between product judgment, systems work, and careful execution, we want to hear from you.
