How I Built an Autonomous AI Coding Agent from Scratch
Most AI coding tools stop behaving like engineers once you move beyond toy repos. Here's how I built AgentX — an autonomous agent with real filesystem awareness, blast-radius analysis, and tri-modal interaction.
Vector Databases & RAG: What I Learned Building a 10,000-Document Search System
RAG is a control system for truth, not just a feature. Here's what I learned building a production search system across 10,000+ documents — including the dual-vector split, 2-layer Redis cache, and the gotchas nobody warns you about.
Voice Latency Under 1 Second: The Architecture Behind a Real-Time AI Travel Assistant
Voice is brutally honest — a chat UI can hide latency behind typing indicators, but a spoken interface gets judged in milliseconds. Here's how TourizmAI achieves sub-second response latency across Vapi, OpenRouter, and a Redis-backed retrieval layer.
Why I Open-Sourced My React Component Library (and What Happened Next)
I didn't plan to build a component library — I planned to ship products faster. Here's why I open-sourced vividoraUI, the technical bets that mattered (Radix UI, TypeScript-first, Tailwind), and what happened after 200+ weekly downloads in 3 months.
