Projects
Things built to solve an actual problem, usually a small one. Source where it is public, and the post that explains what the problem was.
-
mysql-backup
A MySQL backup script that needs no dashboard, agent, or cloud token.
Written against the belief that backup tooling fails precisely because it is complicated. A cron entry, a compressed dump, and a copy to another machine — small enough to read end to end before trusting it with your data.
-
team-status-check
A deliberately tiny task tracker for a non-technical creative team.
Jira, ClickUp and OpenProject all overwhelmed an animation team who simply needed to see what was waiting and pull the next thing. Built around backlog pull and visibility instead of process ceremony.
-
MARVIN
A personal operations assistant built as deterministic workflows, not an agent.
Started as an autonomous assistant and became something far more boring on purpose: fixed workflows with an LLM used only where language actually needs handling. The interesting result was how little of it needed to be agentic.
-
Agentic web pipeline
A multi-model pipeline that rebuilds legacy web pages end to end.
Research, verification, design, implementation and review split across different models by what each is good at, eventually orchestrated by a plain Python while True loop. It did not make the work faster — it removed the variance.
-
Course production pipeline
Storyboards to narrated, captioned video without a studio.
Turned structured storyboards into generated assets, narration, slides, presenter video and captions. It almost worked, and the way it fell short is the argument: course production is authored, not manufactured.
