Overview
Project Overview
A compact view of the business context, implementation direction, and the system-level goal behind the build.
Meaning-aware search designed to improve discovery across content libraries.
Narrative
Challenge and Solution
The problem space and the direction the build took to turn it into a workable system.
The Solution
I created an ML-based search pipeline that turned blog content into searchable vectors, then used cosine similarity and ranking logic to return results based on semantic meaning instead of only exact keyword overlap.
Approach
Approach and Implementation
Execution choices, architecture direction, and implementation details that shaped the final system.
Processed blog content into vectors suitable for similarity comparison
Implemented ranking logic around cosine similarity and relevance scoring
Built a search pipeline that supports semantic matching and related content use cases
