Data & AI

Data and time-series pipelines, search and indexing, document RAG and agent architecture design.

What it involves

On the data side: time-series pipelines, InfluxDB, OpenSearch, indexing, aggregation, search and analytics.

On the RAG side: document ingestion, Apache Tika / OCR, chunking, embeddings, Qdrant, then a local language model run through Ollama for answers with sources.

AI AGENTS / IN DEVELOPMENT

LLMs that do more than
answer.

I work on agent architectures that allow a language model to act on tools and external systems, chain multiple steps and retain the context needed to complete a task.

The goal is to build controllable, observable agents: tool access through explicit interfaces, state management, validation of sensitive actions, and logging of actions, tool calls, results and errors, with recovery after failure.
