The Lab · what I actually build

I don’t just test software. I build and ship it.

Every system below is real, and every one is labeled with its true status — live in production, in active build, a working prototype, or anonymized client work. No mockups dressed up as launches. This is the range you get when you hire the person who also runs the QA.

Work with me

Want a system like these, built for your business?

I take on a small number of AI build and QA engagements. If you have something real to ship, let’s scope it.

The concepts, one minute each

Why AI demos lie

A demo shows five happy-path cases; production throws ten thousand real ones.

LLM-as-judge

How to grade thousands of AI answers a day — a rubric plus a calibrated judge model.

Evals vs tests vs gates

Three words people confuse — and why you need all three for AI.

What is RAG evaluation

Scoring the retrieval itself: precision, faithfulness, and citation accuracy.

Prompt regression

One prompt tweak silently breaks five other things — the fix is a golden set you re-run.

Hallucinations

A hallucination is the model doing its job — fluent and confident. You gate for it.

CI for AI

Your code has a pipeline; your AI ships on "looks fine." CI for AI runs evals on every change.

The one metric

Accuracy hides the failures that hurt — the number that matters is the failure rate on what matters.
