A snapshot of where my engineering attention actually is — updated as the work changes, in the spirit of Derek Sivers' /now.

Where most of my engineering hours are going right now.
TrafficPulse
Scene-understanding platform for traffic footage — perception, tracking, and typed scene semantics.
Personal engineering tooling
Small internal utilities that shorten the loop between an idea and a running prototype.
Topics I'm actively reading, taking notes on, and prototyping against.
Multi-object tracking under occlusion
Stable identity assignment across cluttered scenes.
Camera geometry & calibration
Mapping pixel space to real-world coordinates reliably.
Evaluation of AI systems
Honest harnesses that score behavior, not just outputs.
The few things I'm optimizing for over the current quarter.
Ship the TrafficPulse perception backbone.
Stand up an evaluation harness before scaling scope.
Keep the interfaces between layers stable and typed.
Areas I keep returning to when I have time to think.
Scene understanding beyond bounding boxes.
Retrieval systems that fail transparently.
Small models with well-scoped responsibilities.
Short-lived prototypes that inform the systems I'm building.
Placeholder — no active experiment published yet.
When a prototype produces a result worth sharing, it will appear in the Engineering Lab.
