About

I’m Richard — Lu Phone Maw on paper. I like the part of software where something messy has to become something dependable.

Most of my work sits between backend systems and machine learning: a pile of documents you can search with sources, a spreadsheet you can ask questions of, a publishing workflow with clear hand-offs. I care about the unglamorous parts — evaluation sets, transactions, tests — because they decide whether a demo becomes a tool people trust.
