Cole Hoffer

Staff AI Engineer at Reforge, previously Monterey.ai (acquired by Reforge).

I spend my days building AI systems—RAG pipelines, retrieval systems, LLM integrations—and trying to make them work reliably in production. This blog is where I write about the lessons learned along the way.

Most of what I write about sits at the intersection of information retrieval and LLMs: how to search better, how to filter smarter, and how to get useful answers out of messy data.
