I build outside the day job to understand emerging capabilities directly. I want to know where they help, where they break and what a viable product around them needs.

Why build
Building exposes the gap between a capable model and a dependable product.
A prototype forces concrete decisions about interfaces, tool use, data, latency, cost, failure handling and user trust. Those lessons travel well into enterprise product work, even when the scale and control environment are very different.
