Engineering deep dives

Long-form write-ups of the hard problems behind real, shipped systems: the constraints, the trade-offs, and the decisions that held up.

NomadCrew: Real-Time Group Travel Coordination, Built in Go

A real-time platform for the messy reality of group travel: a fine-grained WebSocket hub, matrix-based authorization, penny-perfect expense splitting, and database-enforced location privacy.

Reading the Black Box: An Observability Layer for Agent CLIs

Five agent CLIs, two storage shapes, one schema waist, and a remedy engine whose cheapest path through the code is "I have nothing comparable."

The Star Rating That Read Backwards: System Design for a Bilingual Lead-Gen Site

No cart, no checkout, no SKU table. Two ORMs on one Postgres, a system-of-record write path, and authorization compiled into a WHERE clause: in two languages and both directions.

Same Workbook In, Same PDF Out: Engineering Determinism End to End

A layout problem wearing a document problem’s clothes. The adversary was nondeterminism, and the deliverable had to match to the byte on every run, including after an operator edits the notes.

Earning the Right to Write a Passport Number into a Legal Form

Five specialized agents on a LangGraph StateGraph, two extractors reconciled per field, and a confidence score honest enough to say "I am not sure", retrofitted behind seven flags onto a live PII pipeline.

PolitiaActive

Aggregates official public data on every Indian Member of Parliament into one searchable, source-backed dashboard where each metric traces to an official record (500k+ election records ingested). Politically neutral by design: it presents the data and lets citizens, journalists, and researchers draw their own conclusions.

ValytechActive

An AI-automation consultancy I built end to end, from the name and brand to the copy and a hand-coded site with no framework. The pitch is calm by design. Find where the work leaks time with LEAN and Six Sigma, then turn proven SOPs into agent workflows. The build is the proof: vanilla JS over a hand-authored design-token CSS system, shipped on Cloudflare.

SpeakingBrandActive

A positioning diagnostic for founder-led brands, currently in private beta by application. Most early brands pour money into growth before they can say clearly what sets them apart; the tool fixes that first. Designed, written, coded, and shipped solo: a hand-built static site with Rough.js sketched visuals and a custom waitlist, on Cloudflare.

How Memory Works in AI Agents: Working, Episodic, Semantic, and Long-Term

Agent memory is a systems problem. The context window is volatile RAM; durable memory lives outside it. The hard parts are eviction, retrieval, and write-back.

How Agentic Workflows Are Designed: Plan, Act, Observe, and the Control Loop

An agent is a control loop, not a magic box. How plan-act-observe is designed: edges, termination governors, persistence, and failures that decide reliability.
