Self-taught builder working across data, infrastructure, and creative tools—mostly on a salvaged-hardware homelab, always with an eye toward systems that survive the real world.
The projects receiving active build time: finding real opportunities in public records, making distributed work durable, and designing a geospatial runtime that can resume after interruption.

Python · SQLite · local 27B LLMs · MapLibre
A durable control plane for long-running jobs across mismatched local machines, with leases, heartbeats, retries, and recovery after power loss.
Python · SQLite WAL · HTTP
A power-loss-resilient build harness for a San Antonio geodata runtime. Plans freeze into explicit tasks; finished work lands only at declared paths with receipts.
Python · manifests · geodata
Working systems, field experiments, and purpose-built tools. Filter by the kind of problem they solve.
Turns every U.S. census tract into source-grounded, plain-language answers using a local retrieval pipeline and salvaged thin clients.

Explore the map →Distributed public-source career research with bounded jobs, stored evidence, local-model extraction, and citations required for material claims.
Lease-based broker · reproducible reports · public sources only
A local render forge scheduling image, video, Blender, voice, and 2.5D animation work across every usable GPU in the fleet.
9 GPU lanes · atomic job claims · verified publishing
Meet the living renderer →A personalized Android play space whose tap telemetry feeds directly back into target size, placement, and a custom local-art pipeline.
On-device tap logs · bespoke sprites · Fire tablet delivery
A visual configuration database for understanding machines, services, network paths, and what-if changes across the homelab.
Evidence-backed inventory · dependency views · local SQLite
Open the topology →A local agent that ingests notes, proposes links, maintains map-of-content hubs, and measures how an Obsidian knowledge graph grows.
Hourly organizer · reversible Git history · local-model judgment
Push-to-talk transcription that polishes speech locally, types into the active window, and tracks pacing, fillers, pauses, and clarity.
Whisper on CPU · local LLM rewrite · automatic coaching metrics
A routing and editor workflow for moving everyday coding onto local GPUs while retaining a practical path to stronger models.
Dual GPU endpoints · editor integration · workload routing
A disciplined watcher for saved eBay searches that reports genuinely new listings through the official API and a durable seen-item record.
