I build AI things with a human pulse.

Search systems, developer tools, and small software with unusually strong opinions about the details.

A few things I made because I wanted them to exist.

Not feature grids. Not portfolio filler. Actual tools with a reason to be here.

01field noteRoomcheck social card reading Know what fits before you buy

product / typescript / geometry

Roomcheck

A little more certainty before you buy the big thing.

A fit-decision tool that turns room and product measurements into buy, resize, relocate, or reject recommendations — with the arithmetic out in the open.

  • 3 public calculators
  • deterministic geometry engine
  • PostHog + Sentry

02field noteGrok CLI reading, editing and testing a Rust file inside its terminal interface

rust / agents / permissions

Grok CLI

An agentic coding harness that edits the code, not just talks about it.

A Rust harness for xAI's Grok models: streaming agent loop, eleven workspace-sandboxed tools, four permission modes, plus MCP servers, subagents and hooks.

  • 11 sandboxed tools
  • MCP · subagents · hooks
  • 305 tests

03field noteUsage Notch panel showing Claude Code and Codex usage and live agent sessions

swift / macos / local-first

Usage Notch

Agent activity, where your attention already is.

A floating macOS meter that turns local Claude Code and Codex transcripts into live agent status, rate-limit windows, and reset timing.

  • local transcript parsing
  • multi-display placement
  • click-through panel

04field noteAudio Notch panel showing active audio apps, volume, and output devices

swift / coreaudio / macos

Audio Notch

The audio HUD that should have been there already.

A screen-edge control surface for active audio apps, system volume, mute, transport actions, and output switching built with public CoreAudio APIs.

  • event-driven CoreAudio
  • per-app activity
  • honest platform boundaries

The part where things leave the sketchbook.

Search infrastructure, production behavior, real constraints. The good stuff.

04 / off the clock

I like systems that explain themselves.

Ranking logic you can trace. Fit math you can inspect. Tools that tell you what they're doing instead of pretending they're magic.

I graduated from Union College with a BS in Computer Science and minors in Economics and Japanese. Outside software, the same curiosity goes into espresso extraction, mechanical watches, star charts, and figuring out where to go next.

Let's make the useful version.

I'm interested in high-ownership AI, search, and product engineering work.
