I'm Arsalan Bashir. I work at the intersection of ML, systems, and products that ship.

Currently building LiveDocs. I write about agent architectures, inference optimization, and code generation systems.

Other interests: chess, martial arts, and whatever problem I can't stop thinking about.

You can find me on X.
