What I'm doing now

Shipping AI into client products

Day job as Tech Lead at MM Nova Tech: leading delivery of client web products, with a growing share of the work being LLM features - chatbots, document automation, and AI-assisted workflows wired into existing Laravel systems.

Writing the Laravel + AI series

Publishing a hands-on series - chatbots, streaming with SSE, RAG with pgvector, tool-calling agents, and queue-based AI workflows. Canonical on the blog, syndicated to Dev.to. New article on the 1st and the 15th.

Rebuilding this site

You're looking at it - a ground-up rebuild in Next.js with an AI-era focus. The terminal assistant in the corner is part of the same project and its AI mode is live; how it is guarded is written up in the case study.

Learning in public

Deepening Python and applied AI engineering: embeddings, retrieval pipelines, and evaluation - the parts of LLM work that separate demos from products.
