An in-depth analysis of a complete AI/ML engineering portfolio, exploring how to build production-grade LLM application systems, covering agent-based workflow design, inference optimization, and cloud deployment best practices.
Section 01
This article uses a complete personal technical portfolio to deeply analyze the key elements of modern LLM engineering practice, covering agent-based workflow design, inference optimization, and cloud deployment best practices, providing a practical reference framework for developers building production-grade AI systems.
Section 02
This portfolio follows the narrative logic of "Problem Definition—Technical Solution—Quantified Impact", reflecting an understanding of business value. LLM engineering requires structured thinking because large model applications involve collaboration among multiple components (data preprocessing, inference, post-processing, etc.), and neglecting any link will affect overall performance.
Section 03
Each functional unit is encapsulated as an independent service interface, with advantages: testability (independent verification), replaceability (easy to upgrade), and scalability (horizontally scale bottleneck modules).
Use the FastAPI framework to support asynchronous processing, and cooperate with SSE/WebSocket to implement streaming token output, improving user experience.
Section 04
Shift from single calls to multi-step decision-making, including planning modules (task decomposition), tool call interfaces (access to external resources), memory management (short-term/long-term memory), and reflection mechanisms (evaluate and adjust strategies).
Adopt the alternating pattern of Reasoning+Acting to enable the model to gradually approach the target in complex environments.
Section 05
Intelligent caching reduces the cost of high-frequency queries, and dynamic batching improves GPU utilization.
Section 06
Docker containerization + Kubernetes orchestration to achieve automatic scaling, rolling updates, and self-healing.
The monitoring system includes: performance metrics (latency, throughput), business metrics (user satisfaction, token consumption), and model metrics (output quality, hallucination detection).
Section 07
Section 08
LLM engineering is moving from the laboratory to production, with modular design, agent-based architecture, inference optimization, and cloud-native deployment as the mainstream directions. Building end-to-end projects and documenting design decisions is the best way for developers to demonstrate their capabilities and learn.

Splinter is a minimalist, high-performance key-value (KV) and vector storage system enabling zero-latency inter-process communication via shared memory and atomic operations. With only 766 lines of core code, it supports millions of operations per second and 768-dimensional vector storage, offering a new architectural approach for local LLM inference and data-intensive applications.
Folkering OS is the world's first AI-native bare-metal operating system, entirely written in Rust no_std without relying on Linux, POSIX, or libc. It can generate commands from scratch, compile them into WASM, and run them in 10 seconds, achieving true self-evolution.
This project explores how to use Large Language Models (LLMs) to detect logical vulnerabilities in Ethereum smart contracts, especially business logic flaws that are difficult for traditional static analysis tools to capture, such as economic manipulation and execution order errors.
This article introduces an open-source project for building modern large language models from scratch. The project evolves from a GPT-2-style basic architecture to a Llama 2/3-style production-level implementation, covering complete tutorial implementations of key technologies such as RMSNorm, RoPE, SwiGLU, GQA, and MoE.
