Notes on building AI systems

Technical writing on inference, evaluation, agents, and reliability. Topics are listed honestly with their status (planned, in progress, or published), and nothing is passed off as finished before it is.

  • Designing an LLM gateway you can actually operate

    Planned

    Routing, caching, quotas, and failover across providers, and why the control plane matters as much as the data plane.

  • Evaluation as a CI gate, not a spreadsheet

    Planned

    Golden sets, regression thresholds, and a data flywheel that keeps model quality from silently drifting.

  • Agents that ask permission

    Planned

    Permission-aware retrieval, guarded tools, and human approval for building agentic systems that are safe to audit.

  • AI SRE: golden signals for model-serving systems

    Planned

    Latency, cost, error, and quality as first-class signals, and what a degraded mode should look like.
