Projects
Things I've built and worked on.
The Vault
An Obsidian garden of philosophical concepts grown from conversations about what it means to build thinking systems out of ephemeral parts.
MiSTer DE1-SoC
A university FPGA board rescued from a cabinet and turned into a retro gaming console — running a community port that went quiet in 2020.
CheckYourZone
A civic tool that makes EPA chemical facility data legible to the people who actually live downwind.
Manifest
An AI-first shared brain that gives Claude sessions continuity of thought across machines, projects, and time.
NerfSentry
An automated USB nerf turret with OpenCV tracking and a cyberpunk terminal UI. Human stays in the loop on firing.
OpenSolaDosis
A substance-agnostic clinical calculation engine where the protocol is the data and the transcript shows the work.
Laughtrackr
A web service that detects speech pauses in video and inserts proportionally scaled laugh tracks. Tiny hesitation gets a single "HA!" — dramatic pause gets the full audience.
Stargazer
Reverse-engineering a Kickstarter telescope's WiFi protocol because the official app never worked right.
TallyStow
AI-powered personal inventory — photograph your stuff, let the AI figure out what it is.
The Ark
A Bash CLI that builds curated offline knowledge archives — because someday the internet will be down and you'll need to know how to replace a light switch.
xSDR
A distributed software-defined radio platform built from $40 USB dongles, repurposed thin clients, and one very specific spousal requirement.
Azure DevOps AI App
A chatbot that knows how it was made, because you taught it by making it.
OpenChargeback
Or, how I learned to stop worrying and love the FOCUS format.
OpenResearchDataPlanner
The question before the question.
xram.net
A personal site in three worlds — a starmap, a text rift, and an asteroid field. All content flows from an Obsidian vault.
RIP This Meme
A digital graveyard for dead memes. Press F to pay respects.
Come Sit With Me
A free perimenopause resource built with my wife. Synthesizes current research into accessible, human-centered guidance with a warm voice named Brighid.
Keep Your Teeth
An oral health compendium born from frustration with standard dental advice. Covers enamel chemistry, microbiome science, botanical remedies, modern innovations, and more.
Open Source Licensing Guide
Plain-language explanations of software licenses—MIT, GPL, Apache, Creative Commons—with real case studies like Oracle v. Google and Redis relicensing.
The Weight of Your Dependencies
A mentor-style guide to dependency management and supply chain security. Teaches reproducibility, risk evaluation, and practical decision-making for developers.
