🎓 Deep-Dive Technical Labs

Two long-form, systems-thinking reference repositories — each is a structured curriculum with runnable code, not a tutorial transcript. Built to teach transferable mental models rather than framework-specific tricks.

🧠 AI Runtime Lab

Engineering deterministic systems around non-deterministic models.

A 14-phase (of 17) systems-engineering curriculum answering one question: how do you build reliable, auditable, production-grade software on top of a component that is fundamentally probabilistic?

Covers: FSM & state control · durable execution & crash recovery · retry/idempotency · DAG-based parallel workflows · agent runtimes · model routing · edge inference & quantization · RAG · memory systems · multi-agent orchestration · prompt-injection defense & sandboxing · full-system observability.

→ Explore the repo

🎙️ Audio AI Field Guide

From raw waveform to production voice systems.

A complete, mental-model-first reference spanning the entire audio ML stack: datasets → preprocessing → Transformer architectures → ASR → audio classification → TTS → full voice-system pipelines (voice assistants, meeting transcription, speech-to-speech translation).

Covers: CTC vs. Seq2Seq architectures · Whisper/Wav2Vec2 internals · fine-tuning ASR & TTS · Speaker Diarization & VAD · evaluation metrics (WER, MOS) · a 30+ term glossary.
