Practical articles on the systems we build: real-time platforms, mobile apps, AI assistants, databases and cloud pipelines.
AI
Where AI helps in taxi and delivery apps, and how to test it before launch
Five places where machine learning and language models earn their keep in ride-hailing and delivery products, three where they do not, and a simple evaluation harness that catches regressions.
AI
A chatbot that answers from your documents: RAG with .NET and Azure OpenAI
How retrieval-augmented generation works, how we chunk, index and retrieve, and a minimal C# implementation you can adapt to your own help centre or policy library.
Architecture
Architecting a Real-Time Ride-Hailing Platform with .NET, SignalR, Firebase and Flutter
How we designed the dispatch, live tracking and payment flows of a ride-hailing platform for Finland — and the trade-offs between SignalR and Firebase for real-time data.
