02 / Side projects
Things I build to learn
Open-source experiments in RAG, local-first sync, prompt optimisation, and backend infrastructure.
meet-shahbaz-ai
A deployed RAG chatbot that answers questions about my career in the first person. It grounds answers in my resume using hybrid BM25 + KNN search with cross-encoder reranking, and streams responses in real time.
syncwell-localfirst
An offline-first collaborative editor built on Yjs CRDTs and IndexedDB. Offline edits merge conflict-free on reconnect, and a Node.js WebSocket server with per-room state handles live cursors, presence, and typing indicators.
ai-prompt-refiner
A GEPA-based prompt optimisation framework that tests LLM system prompts against real datasets, scores correctness, hallucination, format, and task completion, then iterates toward better prompts.
job-queue-and-task-orchestrator
A background-job service. Jobs are persisted in Postgres with a status lifecycle, queued on Redis via Bull, processed concurrently per job type, retried with exponential backoff, and moved to a dead-letter queue when they keep failing.
