Talks I give
Each one built from systems I have actually run.
- 01
How production RAG really works
Chunking, hybrid retrieval, re-ranking, citations and the confidence gate, with the failures a demo never shows you.
- 02
From student to GenAI engineer
A three-year roadmap: foundations and AI tools, then hackathons and internships, then placements or a startup. First given to 100+ first years at VSICS.
- 03
AI in every stage of software development
Where models enter planning, coding, testing and operations, with a shipped product as the running example.
- 04
Winning hackathons on purpose
What judges score, what teams forget, and the 36 hours behind a national first prize.
