Hi, I’m

(02) So far

Learning curve

time not to scale

It goes up, mostly. Every new chapter starts with a dip, and that's usually where the learning is.

what I know (roughly) ↑
  1. 2019Started B.E. Computer EngineeringEverything was new. Started from roughly zero.
  2. 2023Crossword solver, Heritage LensFirst time a model I trained did something I couldn’t.
  3. Aug 2024Joined reAlpha · property tagsProduction data is nothing like a dataset.
  4. 2025Claire, Onboarding Agent 1.0Shipped an agent people actually use. Still live.
  5. Oct 2025Mortgage agentsLong workflows: design for the step where people get stuck.
  6. May 2026AI-chatNow I look after the AI layer with two teammates. A new dip, a steeper climb.

Building something with LLMs, or need someone to own the AI part? I’d love to hear about it.
