AI tools · Product website
A product website for keeping project context across AI agents
An editorial landing page introduces shared project context, shows illustrative agent workflows and explains setup and privacy ahead of beta.
Beta coming soon. The public demos illustrate the workflow; they are not live agent connections.

2026Tallylamp
Open source · Browser infrastructure
A browser for AI agents that you can watch and take over
I built the browser service, dashboard, MCP server and public website. Agents use Chrome on your server while you watch the same browser live. Take control to sign in, then hand it back; saved profiles carry between sessions.

Public site at tallylamp.dev. The browser service and dashboard are self-hosted.

2023 →SurrealDB on Railway
Open source · DevOps
A one-click SurrealDB deploy template, carried across three major versions
Volumes, run UIDs, private networking and credentials pre-wired, so nobody else has to read the changelog. Maintained since October 2023.

One runs on the client's own domain and one is internal to theirs, so there is nothing here of mine to show you.

Not everything is public. A fair amount of the work sits in private repositories I cannot hand you a link to. Ask, and I will walk you through it.

Web Engineering
Websites and web apps with accounts, payments, search and content your team can edit. I plan page speed and search visibility into the build, including pages generated from your own data when the project needs them.
- Next.js
- React Server Components
- TypeScript
- Tailwind v4
- Auth.js
- Stripe
- Sanity
- Programmatic SEO
Mobile & Apps
One app for iOS and Android, sharing a codebase with your website. A customer sees the same data and the same rules whichever one they open, and one change reaches all three. Native builds where the phone genuinely needs them, an installable web app where it doesn't.
- React Native
- Expo
- PWA
- Offline-first
- Push
- App Store delivery
Data Science
I build models to forecast demand, set prices, rank sales leads and measure risk. Before I recommend using one, I test it on data it has never seen. The tests show where its predictions are useful and where they are not.
- PyTorch
- scikit-learn
- Optuna
- pandas / numpy
- statsmodels
- Topological deep learning
- Quantitative risk
Web3 & Systems
Smart contracts in Rust and Anchor on Solana, the keeper services that feed them prices, and the wallet-facing app on top. Underneath sits the half nobody demos. Servers, databases, storage, monitoring. I would rather run those on hardware and accounts you own, so the day you stop working with me nothing switches off.
- Rust / Anchor
- Solana
- Smart contracts
- SPL tokens
- Pyth oracles
- Docker
- Railway
- SurrealDB
- Solana
- Ethereum
- Chainlink
AI & Automation
I build search tools for your own documents, tests that catch when a model gets worse, and automations that alert you when they fail. I build models as well as connect to them. If a scheduled script would do the job, I'll say so.
- LLM integration
- RAG & vector search
- Evals & regression tests
- Agent tooling
- Workflow automation
- Self-hosted inference
- PyTorch
How a project runs
- 01Before code
Scope
One call, then a written spec. What it does, what it deliberately does not do, and what milestone one is. You sign that off before I write a line.
- 02Early
First deploy
A narrow slice that actually works, running where it belongs. A URL you can open, a build on your phone, a job on your own servers. Real data, real hosting, no placeholder screens.
- 03Ongoing
Build in the open
Deploys land as the thing fills in, not in one drop at the end. You watch it happen. And you get to change your mind while changing it is still cheap.
- 04Handover
Yours to run
The product runs in your accounts, with the domain, hosting and documentation under your control. Source-code transfer is quoted separately; we agree what is included during scoping.
Tell me about your project.
Share what you have in mind. I’ll reply by email to arrange a call.

I got my hands on a computer at 6 and never really stopped.
Now it is decentralised finance, tokenising real-world assets and topological deep learning, then building whatever those turn into. Continuum came out of that. So did Delta Xi (δξ, an infinitesimal change in a random variable).
Bossa nova and MPB were always on at home, so I sang before I played anything. Guitar and piano came later, then jazz.

Need the audience too?
I can build the thing. Getting people to notice it is a separate job, and not mine. For that I work with Nytforge, who film, edit and put the work in front of a local audience. They are strongest with automotive and local businesses.
