Deep dives, notes, and experiments. Everything I publish, in one place.
Jev: What a System One Model Is, and What It Isn'tTypeSafe shipped Jev, a model that returns typed decisions with calibrated probabilities instead of generating text. Here is what a System One model actually is, where it fits, and which of the claims are worth checking before you wire it into production.

A year later the benchmarks and the tooling agree, and they put a number on what it actually takes.Berke (pzzaworks)July 21st, 2026NoteCoding After Code AgentsMost of my coding happens in a terminal chat. People picture agentic coding as delegation; the version that ships real work is closer to pairing, and the steering is where the engineering lives.Berke (pzzaworks)June 12th, 2026NoteTitan: Building a DeFi Super AppA technical deep dive into Titan - a complete DeFi protocol featuring token swaps, concentrated liquidity, liquid staking with sTITAN, overcollateralized lending with tUSD, and snapshot-based on-chain governance.Berke (pzzaworks)March 9th, 2026Deep DiveForgetless: Smart Context Optimization for LLMsEvery LLM has a context limit. When your documents, conversations, and knowledge exceed that limit, you're forced to make difficult choices about what to include. Forgetless makes those choices intelligently, achieving up to 14.5x compression while preserving what matters most.Berke (pzzaworks)February 24th, 2026Deep DiveDEX Aggregation in VoidDex: Building an Optimal Route FinderHow VoidDex's backend finds the best swap routes across multiple DEXes, covering the quote service architecture, route optimization strategies, and fee calculation system.Berke (pzzaworks)January 5th, 2026Deep DiveVoidDex Router: Designing a Multi-DEX Swap Router with Split RoutingDeep dive into VoidDex's smart contract architecture, covering the router design, DEX adapter system, and split routing for optimal execution.Berke (pzzaworks)January 4th, 2026Deep DivePrivacy Architecture in VoidDex: Integrating Railgun's zkSNARK SystemHow VoidDex implements private token swaps using Railgun's zero-knowledge proof system, covering the shield/unshield flow, client-side proof generation, and the Waku P2P broadcaster network.Berke (pzzaworks)January 3rd, 2026Deep DiveBuilding VoidDex: A Technical Deep Dive into Privacy-Preserving DEX AggregationEvery swap you make on a decentralized exchange is public. VoidDex is my attempt at building a DEX aggregator that maintains the benefits of decentralized trading while adding a cryptographic privacy layer using zkSNARK proofs.Berke (pzzaworks)January 2nd, 2026Deep DiveThe Trilemma Still HoldsDecentralization, security, scalability - pick two.
