I'm a software engineer with a master's in Computer Science. I work on technology problems, mostly the kind that don't have obvious answers. This blog is where I write up what I figure out.
At A1 Lab I spend most of my time on AI projects, system integrations, and the prototype phase of things that haven't been built yet. The pattern is usually the same. A client has a process that hurts. We build a small thing in two to four weeks that doesn't hurt. If it holds up, we keep going.
A few areas I keep coming back to:
- RAG and document AI. How to make an assistant that actually answers from your data instead of guessing, and what to do when the docs themselves are a mess.
- Integrations between business systems. ERPs, CRMs, spreadsheets nobody wants to touch. This is the work that decides whether an AI feature is useful or just a demo.
- Prototypes. The honest version, where the goal is to learn fast and throw things away if they don't work.
The blog ends up being where I write about the parts that took me a while to figure out. Things like why a particular RAG architecture was wrong for what we needed, or how an integration project actually played out once it hit production data. If a post saves someone an afternoon they would have spent debugging the same thing, that's a good post.
Outside of A1 Lab I'm at claudioscheer.github.io, on GitHub as @claudioscheer, and on LinkedIn.
