AI Engineer · Technical Educator · Systems Programmer

I build production AI systems by day and teach the internals by night. After years of hitting walls because documentation stops where things get interesting, I started writing the articles and building the tutorials I wish had existed. No hand-waving, no "it's left as an exercise", no tutorials that only work in perfect conditions.

I've shipped LLM inference infrastructure, distributed training pipelines, low-latency trading systems, and a few open-source tools that somehow got traction. When I'm not coding, I'm probably reading about the same things but from a different angle.

How I Think

Principles that guide how I approach teaching, building, and writing.

🔬

First Principles Over Recipes

Tutorials that teach you to copy-paste don't teach you anything. I try to explain why things work so you can reason through situations the tutorial didn't cover.

🏭

Production Context Always

Toy examples don't prepare you for the real thing. Every piece of content here includes the failure modes, edge cases, and operational concerns you'll actually encounter.

📏

Honest About Complexity

Some things are genuinely hard. Pretending otherwise wastes your time. I'd rather say "this takes a week to internalise" than make you feel dumb for not getting it in five minutes.

🔗

Cross-Disciplinary Connections

The best engineers I know think across layers — from silicon to product. I try to connect the dots between ML math, systems code, and operational reality in the same piece.
