This is where I share my learnings!

It can be technology, physical strength, mental health, life.

Journaling, jotting down thoughts, and sharing knowledge with others can create mental
clarity!

Since childhood, I have liked to scribble and jot down my thoughts on a notepad while I read books. These days, reading on screens is becoming inevitable. There are lots of great bloggers and writers who share their learnings. I plan to do the same in this blog and write about life learnings, hacks, and strategies that work and don't work, technology, business, mental health, and physical health routines that include diet and exercise routine that works for me.

Why grep beats embeddings for agent code detection, how we built a sub-second Rust detector, and how it scores 96% on our benchmark.

Virtual DA: How deepagents and the Self-Harness Loop Built a Legal AI That Refuses to Hallucinate

30 min read

How we built a zero-hallucination legal AI for California criminal law using SaulLM-7B, deepagents for autonomous statute retrieval, and the self-harness loop that lets the system improve its own instructions from its own failure traces.

Fine-Tuning Retrieval and Context Pruning Models for Stablecoin Regulatory Intelligence

12 min read

How we trained a domain-adapted encoder and a unified reranker/pruner/highlighter, then deployed them for production-grade regulatory search and context compression.

The Leash and the Wolf: Why Every AI Agent Needs an Orchestrator

20 min read

Deep agents are powerful. But without a state machine holding the leash, they will loop, skip, waste, and crash. Here is the case for deterministic orchestration, told through Goose, mini-swe-agent, Stripe Minions, and OpenClaw.

Building Faster Multi-Tenant Vector Search: A Deep Dive into Curator

11 min read

Multi-tenant vector search is hard. Curator achieves 3.4x to 17.3x speedups over traditional IVF by encoding tenant membership directly into the index using bloom filters and hierarchical trees.

The Two Pillars of Modern Generative AI: Contrastive Learning & Flow Matching

18 min read

All modern generative AI, from Image DiT to audio-video synthesis, uses two core concepts: contrastive learning for alignment and flow matching for efficient generation. Here's how PE-AV, SAM Audio, and LTX-2 use these pillars.
