Things I've built
AI Systems
RAG vs OKF
Compares two ways of answering questions over the same company documents: retrieval by chunks versus retrieval by curated concepts.
AI Systems
Envelope
Document extraction pipeline for invoices and property records. Every extracted field carries a confidence score, and mismatched line-item totals or missing required fields get flagged instead of silently passed through.
AI Systems · In-build prototype
Envelope · Phase two - boundary proposals
An interactive design piece exploring how an AI could propose new policy boundaries by watching the corrections a human already makes - without turning approval into a rubber stamp. Not a shipped system: an in-build prototype of the interaction, not the pipeline.
Builds on: Envelope , the extraction & confidence-scoring pipeline this proposes boundaries for.
AI Systems
Text-to-SQL
Ask the Chinook music store database questions in plain English. LLM generates the SQL, a hardened pipeline executes it read-only with a self-correct retry loop, and every answer shows the SQL and rows behind it.

Real-Time Agent Tracking
A real-time agent-tracking UI (TypeScript + Spring Boot) and a gRPC API for proxy assignments, built by hand at Cisco, before AI was part of how I built anything.
