Open-source contributions and research directions I'm pushing into over the next 6–12 months.
| Track | Direction |
|---|---|
| RAG infra | infiniflow/ragflow — agent inputs, DeepDoc parsing, clustering, and retrieval-quality edge cases. |
| Agent frameworks | langgenius/dify, dify-sandbox, and dify-official-plugins — sandboxing, plugin auth, and model-provider plumbing. |
| LLM observability | langfuse/langfuse and the neatlogs SDKs — endpoint validation, transport replay guards, SDK init consistency, span routing, and provider isolation. Interested in OTel-native tracing, evals, and feedback loops. |
| Vector & AI-native DBs | qdrant-client, infinity, and ragas — evaluation harnesses for CustomNerd outputs. |
| Protocols & mobility | named-data/ndnd security/CRL work · background in 5G protocol testing. |
- CustomNerd — published at MDPI Electronics
