My Approach
I particularly enjoy creating solutions that make data science problems into open-source, user-friendly applications. Too much of this field is locked behind academic papers and complex tooling - I want to change that.
My philosophy: Start simple, measure constantly, iterate based on real-world performance. Whether it's building RAG systems, data pipelines, or web applications, I focus on practical solutions that actually help people.
I'm a big fan of Richard Feynman's style of explaining complex topics in the simplest form - it's the best way to truly understand something. If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.
Current Focus
RAG Systems
Exploring different use cases for retrieval-augmented generation and making them more marketable. Basically trying to get paid for doing cool stuff.
Open Source
Contributing to open-source projects and building tools that make data science more accessible. FOSS is how the internet should work.
