I build practical RAG and ML systems that ship cleanly, feel human, and stay reliable in production.
Ship real systems, not demos.
A quick path to get the most out of this site.
A simple, repeatable process for shipping reliable ML/RAG systems and clean web products.
Define what success means, constraints, and the risk surface before writing code.
Ship a thin slice fast to validate the approach, data, UX, and feasibility.
Turn the prototype into a system with tests, observability, and repeatable deployments.
Instrument the system and improve quality where it matters: latency, accuracy, and cost.
Get it in front of users and keep it healthy. Real value comes after launch.
A few highlights that show how I work
Built a retrieval assistant for course materials with grounded, source-aware responses.
Students needed timely answers to course-specific questions outside office hours, but support bottlenecked and engagement dropped.
Built a RAG assistant grounded on syllabus + slides that returns citations and can link into multimodal sources like YouTube with timestamps.
Automated trading with sentiment analysis, technical indicators, and strict risk controls.
Automated SEO-aware content generation with GPT-4 workflows and structured output.
A few pieces worth starting with.
Nothing matters is the intellectual equivalent of not voting and it deserves the same respect.
How mindfulness got stripped from its Buddhist roots and sold back as a productivity hack for corporate America.
The 'finding yourself' narrative assumes a fixed self waiting to be discovered. Identity is constructed, revised, and performed -- and that's more freeing than any gap year.
Every authoritarian movement sells a mythologized past. The longing is real. The history is fabricated.
Water scarcity is not a future crisis. It is a present emergency reshaping geopolitics, agriculture, and daily survival for billions of people right now.
Mass incarceration, racial disparities, and brutal recidivism rates aren't system failures. They're system features.
Free access to information, open to everyone, no purchase required. If someone proposed public libraries today, they would be called a socialist.
The word meritocracy was coined as satire, and we built an entire economic theology around the joke.
