Overview
Some of my projects don't fit into a category, and they end up here. A smorgasbord of really cool, barely functional, incredibly experimental projects that were a lot of fun to make.
This is a non-exhaustive list (that will not be updated, I clearly won't remember) of various web projects that showcase different aspects of my interests in technology, research, and creative problem-solving.
Featured Projects
The Great AI Debate
A research project and weeklong event where a bunch of LLMs duke it out gladiator-style over hundreds of different topics and categories which thousands watch then have at it. The idea is to see how LLMs handle debating each other, and biases in their training.
greatdebate.liveSuperWallClock
A Spotify-enabled wall clock I made with an old monitor and a Pi Zero. It was entirely client-based, so it never relied on a central server to call back to. It showed local weather, currently playing song, UptimeRobot status of my various sites, and, of course, the time!
DIY SlimeVR Trackers
I designed and soldered together a full set of open-source SlimeVR trackers. Due to AliExpress' absolutely nonexistent quality assurance, every IMU I got was absolutely destroyed by drift, and never worked right. But, I got to learn a lot about CAD (and I think this was my first full soldering project).
Sparse Fusion
This research project was a concept for a lightweight Mixture of Experts architecture designed to run high-quality AI on low-resource devices. It used a classifier to route inputs to small, specialized LoRA adapters, then fused their outputs for intelligent, domain-aware responses, all without ever touching a GPU cluster. I never built it when I finished the research and design, but the idea still reflects my obsession with making powerful models run stupidly well on everyday hardware.

Project Philosophy
These projects represent pure experimentation and learning. They're not polished products or commercial ventures, but rather explorations of interesting technical challenges and creative ideas.
The "barely functional" nature is intentional - these are proof-of-concepts and learning exercises that prioritize exploration over perfection. Each project taught me something new or satisfied a particular curiosity.
Technical Interests
- •Edge AI: Running powerful models on resource-constrained hardware
- •Creative Hardware: Repurposing old technology for new applications
- •Distributed Systems: Client-side applications that don't rely on servers
- •Open Source: Building on and contributing to community projects
- •Research Implementation: Turning theoretical concepts into working prototypes
The Joy of Experimentation
These projects capture the pure joy of building things just to see if they can be built. They're messy, incomplete, and sometimes frustrating, but they represent the kind of curiosity-driven work that keeps technology interesting.
