RAG Systems

RAG and LLM Systems Engineering

When an LLM needs to answer from documents, product data, or internal knowledge, the quality of retrieval and response policy matters more than model hype. I build grounded systems that can explain what they used, refuse when context is weak, and stay maintainable as the corpus grows.

What I handle

Ingestion pipelines for PDFs, docs, markdown, web content, and structured artifacts.
Chunking, embedding, metadata, retrieval, and answer-policy architecture.
Evaluation harnesses for retrieval quality, refusal behavior, and source-grounded outputs.
Operational tooling for rebuilds, diagnostics, and corpus lifecycle management.

What I usually build

  • Grounded Q&A with citations and refusal behavior when evidence is insufficient.
  • Knowledge systems that blend retrieval, business logic, and product constraints.
  • Document pipelines designed for repeatability, reindexing, and safe evolution.

Relevant case studies

Questions clients usually ask before starting

Do you optimize for retrieval quality or just model prompting?

Retrieval quality first. Prompting matters, but weak chunking, bad metadata, or no refusal policy will break a RAG product long before prompt wording becomes the main issue.

Can you work with an existing vector stack?

Yes. I can improve retrieval and answer behavior on top of an existing vector database and ingestion flow, or rebuild the weak parts if the current design is the bottleneck.
