Writing

Turning thinking into distribution

Notes, summaries, build logs, and essays. Some are finished; several are drafts in the queue. Writing is how I compound and share what the research produces.

Why prediction accuracy is not enough for physical systems

A test-set number is a weak proxy for engineering value. What a model enables matters more than the metric it improves.

What makes a surrogate model useful in engineering?

Speed is the obvious draw, but usefulness is set by reliability, calibration, and fit with an existing workflow.

The gap between research novelty and product value

Novelty is rewarded in research and irrelevant in products. The bridge between the two is reliability and fit.
