## Overview

A useful AI application is more than the model behind it. Clear interfaces, predictable behavior, and careful failure handling make the difference for the people using it.

I am interested in the software engineering principles that make AI-backed services easier to test, operate, and improve.

## Topics I explore

- Clear interfaces and error handling
- Observability as a general engineering practice
- Performance and reliability tradeoffs
- Maintainable software and testing discipline

Reliable software should be straightforward to understand, improve, and maintain.
