Built by day. Builder by night.

I run production scheduling at a steel mill by day. By night I build — apps, games, an AI assistant, an invention, a novel, whatever the current obsession happens to be. Eight years in Air Force Security Forces before that.

I'm a husband and a father first, and everything here gets built around that: a spare hour after the kids are down, a morning before work.

This isn't a store and it isn't a startup. It's a record of what I make because I like making it. Some of it's free. Some of it you can buy or tip if it's worth something to you. None of it comes with a sales pitch.

05 in progress

Everything else, in whatever state it's actually in. These move up the page when they're ready, and not before.

Echolock Patent-pending word-activated security system. Custom voice recognition pipeline trained on synthetic voices, running on ESP32 hardware I soldered myself. Disassembled — being rebuilt
Vanta AI A local, privacy-first personal assistant. Runs entirely on your own hardware, nothing leaving the house. Rebuilding from scratch
Phyllohum A generative sacred geometry web app — AI-driven visuals with ambient audio. Built to look at, not to explain. Unreleased
Bad Moon An ad blocker that runs its filtering locally with a small language model instead of phoning home. Early build
Space Trip Simulator An interactive space-travel simulator for classrooms — real planets, real spacecraft, free and open. Out there already — due for an update

Tip jar

If something here was useful to you, or you just want to put fuel in the next build, there's a jar. No pressure either way — everything free stays free.
