RAG Beyond the Demo
An Engineering Perspective for Software Developers
A production RAG system involves much more than loading
documents, generating embeddings, searching a vector database
and sending context to an LLM.
This article introduces the wider engineering concerns:
architecture, retrieval quality, evaluation, observability,
reliability, security, cost and system evolution.

From Model to System
Engineering a Computer Vision Pipeline
A trained model is only one component of a production computer
vision system.
This article will explore data preparation, preprocessing,
inference, post-processing, evaluation, deployment, monitoring
and the architecture surrounding the model.

Software Architecture
Why Software Architecture Still Matters in the Age of AI
AI-assisted development can generate code rapidly, but increased
coding speed does not remove the need for clear system
boundaries, modularity, testability and controlled change.
This article will examine why sound software architecture becomes
more important—not less important—as development accelerates.
