03 / Background
Beginnings.
It started with wanting to make the machine do things it wasn't meant to. Modding consoles, automating games, poking at flash files until they gave up their secrets. The how was always more interesting than the what.
That curiosity never left. It just moved up the stack — from scripts and bots to agents and language models, from breaking things apart to building tools that put them back together.
04 / Focus
Trajectory.
Most of the work lives around AI tooling. Coding agents, MCP servers, OAuth bridges for models, and the glue that lets different LLMs talk to the same workflow. The kind of plumbing that doesn't show up in a demo but makes everything else possible.
The belief underneath it is simple: AI trained on all of humanity's data should be accessible to everyone, not locked behind one vendor's key. So a lot of what I build is about opening that up — multi-model CLIs, auth flows, self-hosted dashboards, and agents you actually own.
The rest is whatever catches my attention. Decompilers, homelab control panels, controller hacks, constraint solvers. If it's a good excuse to learn something, it gets built.
05 / Method
Approach.
Ship fast, keep it open, own the stack. Most projects start as a thing I personally needed and got tired of waiting for. I'd rather have a rough tool that works today than a perfect one that never ships. Code gets cleaned up once it's earned the right to exist.
06 / Projects
Tinkering.
Smaller experiments, bots, and weekend hacks. Most of these started as a thing I wanted to exist.
07 / Stack
Tools.
Comfortable wherever the problem lives — frontend, backend, systems, or scripting glue. Tool-agnostic by habit, because the interesting problems rarely respect language boundaries.
Day to day that means TypeScript, Python, C++, React, Next.js, Node, and a lot of work with LLM APIs, MCP, and agent frameworks. Plus the usual: Git, Docker, Tailwind, GSAP, and whatever self-hosted box the homelab is running this week.
08 / Craft
Colophon.
No CMS, no bloat. This site is built with Next.js, Tailwind and GSAP, deployed to Vercel. Client-side JavaScript only where it earns its place — the animations you're scrolling through.
Static where it can be, dynamic where it has to be. Every dependency has to justify its weight, the same way every project has to justify being public.
Open source, like most things here.
