What is Expiscor? Link to heading

In a literal sense, Expiscor means to “fish out”, and figuratively, to find out, to discover, to learn. My life has always been driven by curiosity. It hasn’t been a straightforward path, but it has yielded fruitful and unique life experience. Expiscor is how I share my investigations and findings with you.

Who am I? Link to heading

My life went through several different adventures, and the latest journey is called “AI Engineer”.

In the space, I focus on AI solutions with a product mind. I strive for quality software, but also am pragmatic and not bogged down by “perfectionism”. You can find out what I know about the space in my socials or through my posts.

Currently, I’m known as the guy that:

• Balances engineering and machine learning rigours in LLM prototypes, and take them to production
• Bridges the gap between technology and business
• Learns a wide range of subject matter knowledge even just for fun
• Where to eat or drink in Toronto

In the past, I actually started out as an eSport analyst for League of Legend, which is why I didn’t go to college. Once that avenue ran up, I pivoted to freelance as Market Research Analyst to build stories out of numbers, and created pitch decks for startups.

I was always fascinated by data. More specifically, the human stories that can and cannot be told through data. It’s why I pivoted to machine learning, and after today’s LLM revolution, AI engineering.

What is ARC? Link to heading

I have a small consulting firm called ARC. I get asked about implementation for AI products, especially for LLM use and RAG. But I like coding and system architecture more than just simple chats, so this is a convenient way to help both of us.
