<p>I wanted a place to write longer pieces about the projects I build, what breaks along the way, and what I learn about machine learning and data engineering that doesn’t fit in a README. The portfolio covers what I’ve shipped; this blog covers how and why.</p>

<p>Posts will mostly be technical notes: project post-mortems, ML paper walkthroughs, and short deep-dives on specific tools. Expect code.</p>
