Hi, I'm Parth.
I'm an engineer who got hooked on how machines learn, and never really got unhooked.
These days I build retrieval, agent & voice systems. On the side I'm building Theos (my own assistant) & co-founding bev.
I like taking a messy idea, working out the math, then shipping something clean.
