Open-source tools and skills I have shipped. Pull requests and issues welcome.
Honda Monkey Z125 Manual Chatbot
A RAG chatbot over the Honda Monkey Z125 service manual. The homepage (v2) answers from a Langflow agent over Astra DB hybrid search (semantic + keyword + rerank) and cites the exact manual page; the original v1, on Cloudflare AI Search, still runs at /classic for comparison. Docling + RapidOCR runs locally for the corpus and figures, with exploded-view diagrams rendered inline and the full PDF a click away.
VFR750F Manual Chatbot

Docling + RapidOCR runs locally for the corpus and figures, with exploded-view diagrams rendered inline and the full PDF a click away.
Virago Manual Chatbot
A RAG chatbot over a 291-page scanned 1994 Yamaha XV250 Virago service manual.

Read the write-up →I’ve spent my career at the intersection of complex technical systems and the humans who have to use them: training teams at Cloudflare, building data platform knowledge at Snowflake, and going deep on distributed databases at DataStax. I write here about what I’m learning, building, and figuring out, including tools I’ve shipped along the way, like a document analyzer built on Cloudflare Workers AI.
