Pathan Afnan Khan · AI Engineering Field Notes
Notes on building AI systems that work beyond the demo.
Practical notes on retrieval, agents, evaluation and observability — the parts of AI engineering that decide whether a system survives production.
AI Engineering
A practical guide to improving production RAG through chunking, metadata, hybrid retrieval, reranking and explicit evaluation instead of relying on a larger language model alone.
