Things I’ve built
Daybreak
I wanted a morning reading habit that gave me the context behind the headlines and a reason to stop scrolling.
It runs on my homelab: the morning pipeline on the X1 and the reading app on Nexus.

I wanted to host my own services and learn how networking, storage, and security fit together on a real server.
Nexus runs 25+ self-hosted services, including Daybreak’s reading app.

Galaxy Tab Reading Tablet
I wanted an e-reader, so I repurposed my Galaxy Tab S8+ for offline books and S Pen notes. I rooted it with DFRoot and KernelSU while the bootloader stayed locked, then built local controls that switch between power-saving reading and smoother handwriting.

Deployed · Private repo
My personal dashboard for turning ideas I capture into a first step. Its Console connects to a runner on my Mac over an outbound WebSocket, so I can continue a coding session and approve tool requests from my phone.

X1 Local LLM Server
Private repo
An LLM server on a Ryzen AI mini PC with 96 GB of RAM. llama-swap serves five model roles, including gpt-oss-120b, through one OpenAI-compatible endpoint on my Tailscale mesh. Every config lives in a git repo, so when I wiped the OS by accident, the whole server came back from that repo.

Mac Menu-Bar Apps
Four small macOS menu-bar apps, each fixing one annoyance: QuitGuard makes ⌘Q hold-to-quit, FocusGuard bounces apps that steal keyboard focus, PutBack restores window layouts when a monitor reconnects, and Perch chats with local LLM endpoints from the menu bar. None of them sends telemetry, and each ships as a downloadable DMG.

SAGE
A document Q&A workbench that runs entirely on my Mac. Combining BM25 keyword search with dense vectors and a cross-encoder reranker raised top-1 retrieval accuracy from 84% to 95% on vocabulary-overlap questions, measured on a 72-question gold-labelled benchmark. Answers cite their sources and scored 4.85/5 for faithfulness with an LLM judge. It refused all 10 out-of-corpus questions.
