Engineering Case Studies
Deep-dives into the architecture, engineering trade-offs, and production infrastructure of the AI systems we design and build.
PhotoFox AI Engineering
One Snapshot to a Full Studio Shoot
How we built PhotoFox AI: a Nuxt 3 studio and a Node/Express API that orchestrate six generative models behind one contract, train private per-subject LoRAs, run GPU jobs on async queues with automatic fallback, and meter every credit in deterministic code.

HeyLuna Engineering
A Personal AI Assistant That Takes Action
How we built HeyLuna before AI agents existed: real-time voice, 14+ tool functions across Gmail, Calendar, and Slack, vector memory, and OAuth integrations — at the start of the AI era.
Full-stack agentic AI platform, voice pipeline & third-party integrations
Vocalo Engineering
Ultra-Low Latency, Real-Time AI Speaking Partner
How we built Vocalo's real-time voice agent: migrating from a high-latency, multi-hop WebSocket pipeline (Azure & ElevenLabs TTS) to a unified WebRTC streaming pipeline using Pipecat and Daily.co, bringing response latency under 1.5s.
Real-time voice engineering, WebRTC pipeline & full-stack development
InvoiceAgent Engineering
Document Processing, LLM Extraction, and Natural-Language Search
How we built InvoiceAgent's backend: a redundant dual-extraction OCR pipeline, automated LLM schema enforcement, and a natural-language search layer to achieve financial-grade data accuracy on autopilot.

ApexGolf Engineering
An AI Golf Coach Grounded in Reality
How we built ApexGolf's coaching engine: expert-authored content and a deterministic rules layer handle every safety-critical decision, while a constrained Claude selector picks the plan — it selects, it never invents.
Mobile app & backend engineering, AI coaching engine
Nongor Engineering
Local-First, Citation-Grounded Knowledge Base
How we built Nongor: a high-accuracy RAG engine that runs retrieval, embedding, and reranking entirely on-device, fuses dense and sparse search, and validates every citation against its source — so answers are trustworthy and no document data leaves the machine.
Backend & retrieval engineering, local-first RAG pipeline
Quizmaker Engineering
Any Document to a Schema-Validated, Graded Quiz
How we built Quizmaker: a full-stack platform that turns typed text, PDFs, and images into schema-validated quizzes with GPT-4o-mini, then shares, auto-scores, and exports every attempt through deterministic code the model never touches.
Full-stack engineering, AI quiz generation & assessment platform
SketchToImage Engineering
Turn Any Sketch Into Finished Art
How we turned a weekend scribble-to-image experiment into a production creative studio: a real drawing canvas, scribble-conditioned generation across 20 styles, an async GPU job pipeline, plus upscale, image-to-video, credits and payments around it.
