Builds
Things that run.
A short shelf of things I've built to answer questions I couldn't leave alone. Start with TinyDesk for workflow design, human review, and evaluation. For workplace agents and employee coaching, see AI in practice →.
TinyDesk
A small help desk for working a queue of fictional Ashmere Press tickets. TinyTalk Assist summarizes a ticket, suggests a category, flags what’s still missing, and drafts a reply you can edit. Nothing saves until you click save.
JavaScript front end, Python backend. Local Ollama by default, cloud xAI Grok if you opt in. In a small 12-ticket eval scored for factual errors, repeated questions, and unsupported promises, low-reasoning Grok gave 10 usable drafts and 2 that needed edits.
Screenshot: real interface, fictional ticket. The assistant panel replays a recorded Grok result, not a live call.
TinyTalk
A small local chatbot that became a practical test of memory reliability. Explicit facts, fact history, a current profile, and source status stay separate from recent conversation so “what is current,” “what used to be true,” and “what was supplied” do not collapse into one transcript.
Cricket Mode
A portable behavior layer for AI coding agents. Clamp scope, challenge assumptions, prove the work with evidence, then clean up the residue — across Codex, Cursor, and Antigravity.
Creative technology
Commit City
Turn a year of GitHub contributions into a 3D city. Every day becomes a city lot, activity becomes height, and the original contribution history stays underneath the spectacle.
Local AI · Privacy
Mutiny
A localhost AI console with Ollama chat, SQLite threads, saved facts, and local jobs. Research is an explicit action, with local-note and web modes and source records attached to each run.
LoreMasterBot
A terminal World of Warcraft companion with tools for Blizzard’s official structured data. Local or cloud models share the same lookup loop, with tests for routing, tool-call history, and API failures.
Applied AI · Data visualization
Mutation Microscope
A genomic visualization workspace with chromosome, region, and sequence views, REF/ALT comparisons, and inspectable provenance. Seven curated AlphaGenome examples distinguish published values, reconstructed tracks, and illustrative controls.
