About this site

I'm James Reagan, an AI engineer in Hawaiʻi. My blog is where I log the lessons learned on the job or through experimentation while building generative AI systems.

You can expect clear explanations, benchmarks, and first-principle thinking you can put to work. I write about:

  • Building and scaling generative AI products
  • Measuring what matters (speed, cost, quality)
  • Developer workflows and tooling that stick
  • Security, reliability, and other real-world tradeoffs
  • New research translated for builders

No hype, just field notes on shipping real AI products and the art of being a builder.
