Personal Language Corpus
A small corpus built from my own transcripts and exports, with provenance attached so an observation can be traced back to the passage behind it.
Work & Writing
I write these to work out what I think, and most of the projects are things I wanted to use myself, so they sit together here.

The City
I saw AI Office showing Claude Code agents as robots at desks, and wanted something that fitted the way I work. In The City, each project folder is a building and each team has a floor of robots, so I can see which ones need me.

Typed Diff Questions
A narrow question about a diff can be scored, where a whole code review can't. This was a test of whether a bank of typed questions gives a usable signal.
-
Conversational Timing Lab
I wanted to know whether a pause means somebody has finished or is just thinking, so I built a lab around that difference.

A Paper server for a few friends that sleeps when nobody's playing and wakes when somebody tries to join.

BrontëHF
Brontë brought the design. I built the portfolio around it, with the project content in a CMS so they could keep updating it themselves.

You Inc
I wanted one view of what I own, owe, earn and spend. I built You Inc around a ledger, then took the accounts and billing back out so people could run it on their own machine.

Synod
Synod reads your journal through a set of value agents and writes their disagreements back into the vault as a bulletin.
Source code -
Flat Power Calculator
The flat power bill, minus the server's share, split five ways. The person whose machine runs all day pays for it.

GPUShare
My desktop GPU sits idle most of the day. I built a way for friends to share it for local AI and rendering, with the limits of a home machine visible.
Source code -
DropETA
DropETA plans a run of deliveries and shows what adding one more stop does to the rest.

HealthAgent
My nutrition and activity lived in different apps. I brought their Apple Health exports together so I could see the trends in one place.

A small service that keeps settled BNZ transactions in a Google Sheet, so the budget formulas already in the sheet have current data.
Source code -
Grid Diffusion AD
Diffusion models trained on normal magnetic-field signals, scored on whether they notice a fault they've never seen.
-
AndoSim
AndoSim puts the cubic barrier contact method from a 2024 paper inside Blender, so cloth and shell contacts can be simulated and looked at in the scene.
Source code -
Cowrie Honeypot Analysis
480,998 events from a Cowrie honeypot, and the question was what they actually show.
-
Home Lab
What would happen if I lost the machine running my home services? I built a small server around that question, then tested a full recovery.
-
Pinterest Aesthetic Analysis
I used CLIP embeddings to group the images on a Pinterest board, then kept the snapshots so one month's themes could be compared with the next.
Source code -
Piano Waveform Visualiser
A C++ keyboard where the keys you hold change both the sound and the waveform drawn beside it.
Source code -
Wildfire PySpark
I worked with 1.88 million US wildfire records for a university project, and got into how a model could look accurate while missing the larger fires.
-
TransitSync
TransitSync took the next event in my calendar, worked out how to get there, and told me when to leave.
Source code -
Sentient Environment Explorer
A small grid world where an agent has to find food and avoid hazards, and a neural learner works out which moves to repeat.

Cookie Cat
A university game project in Godot, where you jump a level that keeps generating, collect cookies, and spend them on lives and jump upgrades.

3D Spanning Trees
I was treating meshes as graphs, and deleting the faces off an OBJ leaves the edges, which is enough to run Kruskal's algorithm on.
Source code -
L-system Generator
An L-system editor: write the rules, set the angle and the iteration count, and watch a turtle turn the string into geometry.
Source code -
ArticulateAI
One of my early voice experiments: record a clip, transcribe it with Whisper, send the transcript to GPT with a prompt, and optionally speak the reply.
