[01] The Problem

Technical Constraints & Motivation

Keyword search fails on nuanced queries where vocabulary differs from source terminology, while pure vector search often misses exact technical identifiers.

[02] What I Built

Architecture & Implementation

An end-to-end document search pipeline that processes raw text, generates normalized embeddings, and retrieves ranked context chunks for downstream tasks.

  • —Hybrid scoring combining lexical token matching with dense vector representations
  • —Quantized vector index structure to reduce query memory footprint
  • —Query inspection client built in Next.js with real-time score inspection
[03] Outcome & Results

Delivered System

Built a hybrid indexing pipeline that balances dense semantic similarity with keyword matching and exposes a clean query API.
