How LLMs Use Retrieval to Turn Prompts Into Grounded Answers

Alex Britton

May 2025 Long-form technical essay

A practical walkthrough of how prompts become tokens, embeddings, vector searches, retrieved context, and grounded model responses. Written for builders who want to understand the system around the model, not just the chat interface.

What Are Skills in Agentic Coding?

Alex Britton

2026 Agentic coding workflow

A long-form explanation of skills as reusable instruction packages for coding agents, and how they help keep repeated workflows consistent without bloating the active context window.

Neuromuscular Efficiency and Elbow Varus Torque Production in Baseball Pitchers

Alexander B Britton, Brent Hokeness, et al.

2025

This study developed a two-tier machine learning framework to quantify the contribution of forearm muscle activation patterns to elbow varus torque beyond biomechanical kinematics alone. Stage 1 achieved R² = 0.764 using kinematic features, while Stage 2 explained ~30% of residual variance using EMG and isometric performance metrics, supporting a neuromuscular efficiency construct for personalized injury risk assessment.

Kinematic Analysis of a Four-Bar Linkage for Forward Stroke Motion

Christine Walck, Megan P Parker, Alexander B Britton, Douglas T Wingert

March 2025 DOI: 10.34297/AJBSR.2025.26.003442

This study introduces a novel four-bar linkage mechanism to improve adaptive kayak mounts for individuals with upper-body mobility impairments. Using motion capture technology to derive a Standard Stroke Profile, the design replicates natural forward kayak strokes with high accuracy (RMSE = 22.0 mm), addressing key limitations in existing adaptive sports technology.

About

I build AI, data, and product systems that make hard things easier for people to use.

My work usually starts in messy real-world information and ends as something a coach, teammate, or end user can understand, trust, and act on.

How I Work

I studied mechanical engineering at Embry-Riddle, played college baseball, and now work as a forward deployed engineer. That background shaped how I think: lead with ownership, build close to the user, move fast, and keep improving the system after the first version ships.

AI Focus

I consider myself an early adopter of LLM systems. A lot of my energy goes into agentic workflows, MCP servers, RAG systems, and LLM-assisted coding. I am interested in how AI can help a single builder move faster without losing technical judgment, taste, or accountability.

Communication

I enjoy explaining what I am learning through demos, technical writing, research papers, LinkedIn posts, and Substack. Writing helps me clarify my own thinking, and it makes the work more useful to people who were not in the room while it was built.

What Grounds Me

My faith is a large part of who I am. I try to approach work with discipline, humility, and consistency. Titles change. What matters more is becoming the kind of person who can be trusted with the work in front of him.
