Projects in
the open.
Multi-post explorations. Each series follows a single thread of work from "this is interesting" to "here's what shipped."
AIOS ThinkTank
What does an operating system look like when the user is an LLM? I'm building a robot car driven entirely by AI to find out — hardware, firmware, and the prompt layer that ties them together.
SLM Research
Field notes from testing the Specialized Language Model thesis: that small, fine-tuned models on the right data beat large general-purpose ones on the work I actually do.
Building a Knowledge Management App with Oracle AI Database 26ai
Building a multimodal knowledge base on Oracle AI Database 26ai — CLIP-in-database, JSON Duality, Vector Search, and a vision-aware RAG pipeline that actually sees images instead of describing their captions.
Building an SLM Powerhouse
Designing, building, and stress-testing a local workstation for fine-tuning specialized language models. RTX 5090, 22-hour training runs, and the part list that actually ships.
