Notes

Writing, decision records and working notes on AI systems, architecture and the tools Shaaf Kashan uses.

• Writing: Essays on where AI belongs in a product, and where a simpler, cheaper, more auditable approach wins.
• Decisions: Decision records from the FRIDAY build and from this site, each written as context, constraints, decision, trade-offs and outcome.
• Tech Radar: Where Shaaf Kashan places each technology: adopt, trial, assess or hold.
• Uses: The languages, frameworks, tools and platforms Shaaf Kashan reaches for.
• How this site is built: How shaafkashan.com is put together: prerendered pages, an in-browser assistant with no LLM, security headers, tests and a deploy gate.
