My journey in software engineering and technical management
How I built an automated QA system for a solo startup using Claude Code slash commands — orchestrating subagents that run SQL checks, API calls, and unit tests against a local copy of the production database. Including a self-correcting test plan that updates itself after every run.
How to mirror a website, serve it locally under its real domain name using Caddy virtual hosts and Docker network aliases, and use it as a deterministic test fixture for a web crawler.
Why your classification taxonomy matters more than your training data size. A practical guide through trial, error, and embedding analysis.
How I discovered SetFit, the framework that lets you build production-grade text classifiers with just a handful of labeled examples per category.
How I built a hyperparameter tuning system for BERTopic that can test hundreds of parameter combinations in minutes
How I architected a data/ML/NLP project using Redis as a central broker to coordinate microservices without the complexity of Kubernetes.
How to use Claude Sonnet for NLP clustering ground truth. Use AI labeling instead of manual annotation.
A comprehensive guide to evaluating supervised clustering algorithms, bridging the gap from binary classification fundamentals to advanced clustering metrics through a practical, exploratory approach.
Automating a social media pipeline with n8n, enhance photos using Cloudinary's AI auto-cropping, generate poetic descriptions with Mistral AI, and handle errors gracefully.
Discover how I began tackling deep learning with a personal selection of must-read books—from Chollet’s deep dive to Glassner’s insights — alongside hands-on PyTorch tutorials, AI Engineering tips, and curated videos.
Step-by-step guide to building automated social media workflows with n8n. Features AI-powered image classification, API integrations, and smart content pipeline creation for effortless posting.
A personal account of managing an employee's mental health crisis in a remote work environment. This article details a technical manager's experience when confronted with a team member exhibiting paranoid behavior, outlining five specific actions taken and important boundaries maintained.
A short article on how introducing “side quests” — small, self-driven projects — helped junior developers gain autonomy, motivation, and real-world experience in a tightly managed startup environment. Includes practical examples and lessons on how to launch them effectively.
