I build things, break things, and get unnecessarily curious about how they work.

One of the areas I'm most obsessed with — how information gets discovered and ranked before it reaches an LLM.

+ Get an idea
+ Build something
- Break it (inevitable)
+ Figure out why
+ Rebuild it
# Understand it
# Move to next ideaSome projects are polished. Some are experiments. Some start as a stupid idea at 2 AM. That's kind of the point.
My repositories are where most of the experiments end up.
