   Record-flow transaction — a five-step auditable unit: BEGIN → INSERT → UPDATE → AUDIT → COMMIT. Every transaction that changes state leaves an audit trail by construction, not by convention.

   On the discipline of selection. The four projects below are not the most recent — they are the ones whose lessons survived being written down. Failure modes recorded, not buried.

   On the form of the working note. A note exists when an idea survives being written down — not when it reaches a publishable length. The five notes above are deliberately short.

RAGRetrieval-Augmented Generation

Feeding a model retrieved context from a corpus before it answers, so it grounds claims in source documents.

MCPModel Context Protocol

An open protocol that standardizes how models discover and call external tools, files, and data sources.

HISHospital Information System

The operational software backbone of a hospital — patient records, billing, clinical workflows, audit trails.

RLSRow-Level Security

A database-level policy that restricts which rows a session can read or write, enforcing tenant isolation at the data layer.

CNNConvolutional Neural Network

A neural architecture built from convolutional filters — historically the workhorse for vision before transformers arrived.

ASRAutomatic Speech Recognition

Transcribing spoken audio to text. Locally, usually a streaming model running on-device for latency and privacy.

TTSText-to-Speech

Synthesizing natural-sounding speech from text — the reverse direction of ASR.

LoRALow-Rank Adaptation

Fine-tuning a model by training small low-rank adapter matrices instead of the full weight set — cheap, swappable.

FAISSFacebook AI Similarity Search

A library for fast dense-vector similarity search at scale — the index layer of most retrieval systems.

WSWebSocket

A persistent bidirectional TCP connection — the transport layer for real-time streaming between client and server.

SQLStructured Query Language

The lingua franca of relational databases. Used here for audit, transactions, and row-level policies.

TRTurkish (language)

Agglutinative, morphologically rich — retrieval and tokenization require language-specific handling, not just English defaults.
