Writing on AI engineering & hiring

What these guides cover

Each article answers one question a client asks before hiring: what AI development costs by region and project type, when retrieval-augmented generation beats fine-tuning, which voice AI platform fits a given call flow, whether a freelancer or an agency suits the shape of the work, and how an AI agent is actually wired up with the Model Context Protocol and the Claude API. Every statistic carries its source inline and the sources are listed at the end of each piece; nothing is quoted from memory. Dates are shown on every post and articles are revised when the tooling changes, so a figure you read here is the figure that was checked on the date shown.
