AI & Agentic Development

AI has become an increasingly important part of both my professional and personal development workflows. I use AI for software development, code analysis, retrieval, experimentation, and building agentic applications.

Try out Ask Eric for an example of my AI and agentic development experiments. It combines retrieval-augmented generation with content from this site to let you ask questions about my projects, articles, and other technical content.

  • Claude / Claude Code
  • OpenAI / Codex
  • Model Context Protocol (MCP)
  • Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)
  • Embeddings and vector search
  • Qdrant
  • Local and cloud-hosted LLM experimentation
  • AI-assisted development workflows

I’m also building DevIndext, a local developer knowledge indexing system designed to provide AI coding agents with efficient, high-value context across repositories and workspaces.

Cloud & DevOps

  • Microsoft Azure
    • Azure Functions
    • App Service
    • Azure SQL
    • Azure Storage
    • Microsoft Entra ID
  • Bicep
