What I Reach For

The daily workshop — what I actually build with.

The agent layer

• Local-first LLMs (via Ollama) running entirely on my own machine.
• Claude as the agent layer I work through, on a Python/FastAPI backend with SQLite.
• Retrieval that mixes lexical search with embeddings over an OKF knowledge bundle.
• A check-with-me-first pattern wrapped around anything that matters.

On-device Apple

• Swift and SwiftUI.
• Apple Foundation Models and Apple Intelligence for on-device inference.
• App Intents so the assistant lives inside the system, not a separate app.

Focus areas

• Agentic systems & multi-agent orchestration
• Context management & long-term memory
• LLM integration & prompt engineering
• AI-augmented SDLC
• API design

Engineering foundations

• Laravel, ReactJS, and in-house MVC frameworks
• J2EE
• MinIO
• Nvidia CUDA
