// Community platform for educators

A community platform purpose-built for educators, with native support for long-form video content.

/* The challenge isn't the CRUD — it's delivering educational video without torching egress costs. Working through S3 + CloudFront + adaptive bitrate to keep latency predictable and bills reasonable. */

Web app · Music community

// Music reviews · albums · communities

A web platform for music reviews — rate albums, join groups, and discuss in a shared feed with other listeners.

/* Originally a Django monolith rendering HTML/Tailwind server-side. Migrated it to a decoupled, serverless architecture: FastAPI on AWS Lambda, Next.js frontend, RDS + S3 — cutting response times by ~70% and removing idle-capacity costs. */

# How I ship LLMs without shipping liabilities.

> I build with LLMs the way I build with databases: schemas, guardrails, observability.

  • →RAG pipelines with source-grounded retrieval
  • →Structured inputs to mitigate prompt injection
  • →PII redaction before any external model call
  • →Strict output contracts, validated before use
  • →Audit trail on every model invocation
  • →Deterministic fallbacks for every AI-dependent flow

An LLM is a dependency like Redis or Postgres. I treat it like one.

01[input]Prompt injection mitigated via structured inputs
02[pii]Redaction layer before any external model call
03[storage]No PII in vector stores without encryption + TTL
04[audit]Every LLM call logged with trace + user ID
05[egress]Provider terms reviewed for no-training clauses
06[fallback]Deterministic fallback for every AI-critical path
