Working at the intersection of AI, product, and software. Currently building at Tekvo and Milao.
saran.build — where I write and share what I'm building.
Long-form notes on building AI systems from scratch and putting research into production.
- I built a faithfulness evaluator for a real RAG problem — RAGAS + FActScore + MVVP on 102 labelled cases, with cost, latency, and when I wouldn't trust the score
- Building Llama 3.2 From Scratch — why RoPE, RMSNorm, GQA, and SwiGLU became the modern default
- Building GPT-2 From Scratch (and Loading Real Weights) — every layer in PyTorch, running on OpenAI's checkpoint
- Seven Hidden Faults in Every Tamil NLP Pipeline — a field audit of what breaks before training
- The Anatomy of an RL Environment — how agents actually learn to write better code
