Building an Agentic Self-Healing RAG with LangGraph | Week 5 of SentinelRAGIf you've built a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system before, you've probably ended up with something like this: User Query │ ▼ Retrieve Documents │ ▼ Generate Answer │ Jul 6, 2026·6 min read
Building a Self-Healing RAG System with FastAPI, LangChain & LLM Evaluation (SentinelRAG v0.4.0)One of the biggest limitations of most Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) applications is that they assume the first retrieved answer is always good enough. In reality, retrieval isn't perfect. SomeJul 3, 2026·5 min read
Building SentinelRAG v0.3.0: From Retrieval to Self-EvaluationWhen people build a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system, the journey usually ends once the model produces an answer. For me, that's where the interesting part begins. After spending the previoJun 30, 2026·7 min read
Building SentinelRAG (Week 2): From Indexed Documents to Grounded AnswersWeek 2 of my AI Engineering journey focused on transforming SentinelRAG from a document indexing system into a complete Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipeline. By the end of this week, the systJun 30, 2026·6 min read
Building SentinelRAG (Week 1): From PDF Upload to Vector Search with FastAPI and QdrantIn the previous article, I introduced SentinelRAG and explained why I wanted to build a production-oriented Retrieval-Augmented Generation system. This week was dedicated to building the foundation. IJun 30, 2026·3 min read
Building SentinelRAG: Designing a Production-Ready Self-Healing RAG System from ScratchMost Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) tutorials end with retrieving a few documents and asking an LLM to answer a question. That's a great introduction, but it's far from how production AI systemsJun 30, 2026·3 min read
