Now

What I’m actually focused on. Updated October 2026. (A /now page.)

Building

Ryshe. AI and data consulting for mid-market engineering, manufacturing, AEC, and aerospace companies. Current center of gravity: Ryshe Forge, our subscription delivery model, and the data foundations that make client AI projects actually ship.

Writing

One essay a week here on production AI, most recently on LLM evaluation. A weekly letter for operators on Substack: Alex Ryan.

Thinking about

• Evals as the real moat in applied AI, the golden set as a specification
• Context engineering as a discipline, not a buzzword
• Where agentic retrieval earns its complexity (and where it doesn’t)

Life

Grand Haven, Michigan. The lake is better than the hype cycle.
