Note of the week

Most pipeline failures aren't dramatic crashes, they're quiet schema drifts upstream that nobody notices until a dashboard looks slightly wrong three weeks later. Treat your data contracts with the same rigor as your API contracts, because the cost of skipping that discipline just shows up later, disguised as a debugging session.

What I do

Data pipelines

Ingestion, transformation, and orchestration that hold up under real production load.

AI integration

Wiring Claude and other models into products as features, not demos.

Applied AI features

The interface layer on top — the part your users and customers actually touch.
