Compression & intelligence
Compression is a lens on intelligence
The interesting part is not making data smaller. It is discovering structure that survives beyond the examples.

Ideas worth
working through.
Essays on intelligence, agents, and the physical world. Some are working frameworks; others are questions I am still learning how to ask.
Agent systems
Build the laboratory, not another agent
For domain-specific engineering, the highest-leverage work may be the environment around the agent—not another reasoning loop.

AI × RFIC
At radio frequencies, layout is still design
A netlist is not a complete physical specification. Geometry, coupling, and return paths are part of the design problem.

Six levels of AI-assisted RFIC design
A working framework based on design responsibility and verified closure—not model size, agent count, or impressive screenshots.

Engineering methods
The next simulation should change a decision
Treat simulation as a decision resource: combine inexpensive exploration with the expensive evidence a claim actually needs.

Compression & intelligence
Two meanings of compression
Information compression and amplifier gain compression share a word. The interesting connection is a research question, not an equivalence.

Agent systems
Serial before swarm
Clear handoffs and durable state can matter more than adding simultaneous agents to an engineering workflow.
