Curious technologist • AI tinkerer • drummer • builder of unnecessarily ambitious side projects

What I'm working on (lately)

• Glint — a tiny signals-based Web Components framework with a DX that doesn’t hate you
• Twinkle — a Tailwind-compatible utility CSS library designed for Web Components + Shadow DOM
• Local-first AI experiments with llama.cpp, Ollama, RAG, Qdrant, embeddings, async ingestion
• Music tech: MIDI e-drums, high-realism samplers, Pure Data, improvisational workflow tools

What I actually use day-to-day

Languages:
JavaScript / TypeScript, Python, SQL, Java

Frontend / UI:
Glint, Web Components, Tailwind/Twinkle, React, Svelte, Vite

Backend / APIs:
FastAPI, Node, Express, Spring MVC, Flask

AI / ML stack:
Local LLMs (llama.cpp, Ollama), embeddings (BGE-M3), Qdrant, RAG pipelines, multimodal ingestion,
Celery/Redis async workers

Infra & Tools:
Docker, AWS (Lambda, Textract, S3, CloudWatch), GitHub Actions,
PostgreSQL, Oracle, Redis, OpenSearch

Platforms I play with:
ESP32, ESP8266, DIY drones, custom MIDI trigger systems

A few things that shape how I build

• I like signal-based UIs and architectures that scale down before they scale up.
• I optimize for local-first, privacy-first, and no mystery meat in the stack.
• I’m happiest when building tools that feel inevitable in hindsight.
• Humor keeps work human. And so does good music.
• My pup Layla supervises all commits.

Building things that make life feel a little more alive.
