The Incentive Vacuum
RAG was never going to displace SharePoint. It was never built to. The real question is why no open standard for knowledge ever emerged, and why that absence is now costing more than switching would.
Writing
My writing on topics that interest me.
The Acceleration Problem
PKM didn't emerge from productivity culture. It emerged from necessity. And the tools workers built for themselves are now more capable than anything the enterprise has maintained for them.
The Substrate Gets a Spec
Google's Open Knowledge Format formalizes the LLM Wiki pattern and names the compiled-versus-retrieved distinction. The format problem may be solved. The governance problem is still yours.
MyAgent
An AI chatbot that answers questions about my background, experience, skills, and project work — deployed on Hugging Face Spaces and embedded into this site.
The Agent I Didn't Mean to Build
A week-long detour into building a chatbot for my career page that became something else — and what it suggests about the shape of the web to come.
nanochat: Mid-Training Personality Conditioning and the Question of AI Identity
What happens when you stop prompting a model to behave a certain way and start building that behavior into the model itself.
The Substrate Problem
On legacy knowledge management, the limits of RAG, and what healthy compression looks like for the knowledge worker in 2026.
Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence, machine learning, and the systems that make emerging capabilities usable in high-consequence environments.
Integration
Connecting systems, data, and organizations so they work together reliably.
RAG
Retrieval-Augmented Generation — grounding language model output in retrieved evidence rather than parametric memory.
RMF Assistant: Evidence-Grounded AI for Policy Q&A and Control Gap Analysis
UMBC Data Science capstone, Spring 2026. Demo-ready.
Sometimes I Side Quest
Thoughts on software development, buy, vs build, and integration.
How I Think
I believe technology is never neutral. Here's how I think about systems, judgment, and human agency—and why I value rigor over novelty.
