Agentic Workflows
Agents that actually ship work: tool use, planning, retries and human approval gates, running in production rather than in a demo.
RAG & Retrieval
Grounded answers from your own corpus. Chunking, hybrid search and reranking tuned until citations hold up under scrutiny.
Memory Systems
Durable context across sessions — what to remember, what to forget, and how to recall it without poisoning the prompt.
LLM Performance
Latency, cost and quality treated as one budget. Caching, routing, smaller models where they win, evals that catch regressions.
Cloud & Knowledge
Pipelines that keep knowledge bases fresh and observable, on infrastructure sized to the workload instead of the hype.
Plugin Engineering
WordPress and MCP plugins built to real specs: scoped permissions, audit trails, safety points and honest failure modes.
Product Design
Deciding what to build and what to cut. Interfaces that stay legible once the AI behind them gets complicated.
DSP & Realtime
Signal processing and hard-timing code: audio and sensor pipelines where a missed deadline is the bug, not a slow frame.
Embedded & IoT
Low-level firmware on microcontrollers — memory-constrained C, peripherals, buses and devices that must run untouched for months.
Cross-Platform
Linux, macOS and Windows in the same project, including the toolchain and build differences everyone discovers too late.
Web & eCommerce
The original trade, still here: fast sites and storefronts that load quickly and keep working.

Bring me the awkward part — the retrieval that returns nonsense, the agent that stalls at step nine, the cost that tripled last month. I will tell you honestly what it takes.
