Focus
What I am building and learning right now, and the tools I use.
What I'm Building
A personal knowledge base that helps me write better cold messages to startup founders.
- My experience, skills and projects are stored as structured notes.
- Prompts look at a startup, guess its hardest engineering problems, and match them to work I have done.
- The output is a short message: the problem, my proof, and a simple ask.
What I'm Learning
- Backend architecture and system design
- Async workflows and background jobs
- Applied AI: RAG, retrieval tuning and MCP
- Developer tools and isolated runtimes
