Running Codex on a local model with LM Studio

Most of the jobs my orchestrator hands to Codex are small ones that do not need a frontier model, so I wired the Codex harness to a Qwen MoE running on my own Mac through LM Studio. The wiring was less obvious than expected, and this blogpost collects everything that broke on the way to a working setup, plus the DSPy-style loop it makes affordable.

Running time-series forecasting in the browser with Rust and WebAssembly

For WaySightAI I set the constraint that raw time-series data never leaves the user's browser, which meant the CSV parsing, cleaning, stationarity tests, and forecasting all had to run client-side. The core math is written in Rust and compiled to WebAssembly, and this blogpost goes through the architecture, the benchmark numbers, and the tradeoffs.

Orchestrating a forecasting pipeline with Bedrock AgentCore and SageMaker

A forecasting system where an LLM agent runs the whole lifecycle: exploratory analysis in a Code Interpreter sandbox, feature engineering, Bayesian hyperparameter tuning and training on SageMaker, and deployment behind a live endpoint. This blogpost goes through the three-layer architecture and the patterns that keep LLM-generated code contained.
