- Bridging Strategy & Code: Connecting business strategy, domain depth, and cutting-edge multi-agent architecture.
AI Passion Projects & Live Systems
Interactive prototypes, agentic architectures, and deterministic evaluation suites

Local Model Matrix
Enterprise-Grade Local LLM Discovery, Multi-Dimensional Filtering & Evaluation Suite
There are millions of open source models, but determining what model to use and for what is hard unless tested individually in applications. LMM is the first stage gate that filters and identifies local models that are worth your time for further validation and evaluation.

PromoGuard
Medical Regulatory & Legal (MRL) AI Compliance & Claims Validation Engine
Pharmaceutical firms spend millions of dollars every year on patient and physician advertisements. This application analyzes all advertisement modalities (website, email, print, digital, video etc.) and provides a confidence score on how likely they are to be slapped on the wrist with an FDA OPDP Violation Letter. System analyzes claims against labeling data, clinical trial data and historical OPDP violation precedents to come up with an accurate score.
News You Can Use
Curated AI Intelligence, Breakthrough Signals & Real-Time Research Pulse
Engineers and leaders are overwhelmed by noisy AI hype cycles, lacking a curated stream of vetted breakthroughs with architectural takeaways and code-level feasibility.
Medical 360
Comprehensive Clinical Intelligence & Patient Journey Synthesis Platform
Fragmented clinical records, siloed trial registries, and dense medical literature make holistic patient assessment and therapy outcome tracking slow and error-prone.
Ontology Modeler
High-Throughput Semantic Graph Construction & pgvector Knowledge Engine
Unstructured enterprise knowledge is trapped in disconnected document silos without ontological relationships or fast semantic search.
Idea Harvestor
Autonomous Enterprise AI Breakthrough Scanner & Multi-Agent LLM Judge
Organizations are overwhelmed by hundreds of weekly AI papers and announcements, lacking a structured, objective framework to triage and prioritize commercially viable initiatives.

Deterministic verifiers > subjective LLM-as-a-Judge. When evaluating code or math, run the test and check the return value. Ground truth is not a prompt, it's a compile step.
Local LLM inference on consumer hardware with quantization (like Gemma 4 and Qwen 30B via LM Studio) is reaching frontier parity for domain-specific agent loops. The cloud is no longer the only game in town.
Multi-agent systems shouldn't just be 'cheerleaders'. The secret to real production reliability is adversarial checks: having an explicit Critic agent whose only job is to poke holes in proposals before the Judge rules.
How Smart Design Converts Local Edge LLMs into Gamechangers
How Smart Design Converts Local Edge LLMs into Gamechangers
I built Aperio Health (formerly Medical 360) as a passion project. The intent was simple, have a system that provides clinical grade information on any drug, disease state, pathogens etc. as an alternative to google search.
When a 2017 “What‑If” Finally Got Its Moment in the Age of GenAI
In 2017, a chance meeting with a marketeer drew me to an interesting problem.
Dr. ChatGPT will see you now...
It all began on **Friday, June 6th**, with what felt like simple fatigue. Suddenly my eyes were heavy and tired, and I chalked it up to a long work week, or maybe some screen overuse, or recovering from the viral throat infection a week prior.
