| Focus | Details |
|---|---|
| Building | macOS apps & LLM triage pipelines at Apple |
| Shipping upstream | 50+ merged PRs in 2026 — ragflow · dify · dify-sandbox · dify-official-plugins · ndnd · on pace for 100+ by EOY |
| Exploring | RAGFlow · LangGraph · LangChain · Dify · SigNoz · Helicone · LiteLLM · Ragas · Qdrant · Infinity · Namma Yatri |
| Research | CustomNerd framework (NYU, manuscript in progress) · Job-Matching-Agentic (WSU) · Odyssey / DataFusion cost modelling (Edinburgh) |
Open-source contributions and research directions I'm pushing into over the next 6–12 months.
| Track | Direction |
|---|---|
| RAG infra | Going deeper into infiniflow/ragflow — agent inputs, deepdoc parsing, GMM clustering, retrieval quality edge cases. Likely moving toward plugin/plugin-API surface next. |
| Agent frameworks | Active across langgenius/dify, dify-sandbox, dify-official-plugins — seccomp hardening, plugin auth flows, model-provider plumbing. Next: cost-tracing hooks and tenant-isolation edges. |
| LLM observability | Contributions and forks in langfuse, helicone, neatlogs, signoz. Watching where OTel-native LLM tracing goes next — likely landing eval/feedback primitives. |
| Vector & AI-native DBs | Forking and reading qdrant-client, infinity, ragas. Ragas-style evaluation harnesses for CustomNerd's research outputs. |
| Protocols & mobility | Shipping into named-data/ndnd (security/CRL) and nammayatri (Haskell, open mobility). 5G protocol testing at Apple keeps me close to ASN.1/UICC pain. |
| Research | CustomNerd paper in progress (NYU, Prof. Dennis Shasha) · Job-Matching-Agentic platform maturing toward WSU submission · Odyssey cost-model work with Edinburgh continuing. |
On pace for 100+ merged PRs by end of 2026 and 2,500+ annual contributions. Always open to upstream issues, RFCs, and design reviews.
