Things I'm
making.
I build things to answer questions. Sometimes the question is about a technology I want to understand. Sometimes it's about a problem I've noticed in someone's life. Usually it's both. These aren't portfolio pieces — they're experiments, some finished, some still going, some just alive in my head.
Most of them started with "I wonder if I could."

What if a personal site felt like an operating system?
A terminal-style personal site with slash commands, hidden easter eggs, and a slime that lives on top of the windows and bounces around. You can spawn more slimes, merge them, change their colors. The site is also a testbed for a local LLM running on a Mac mini in the corner of my office.

Can a simple site do real business work?
Built the company site for my husband's trucking operation — clean, presentable, built for one goal: attracting new drivers. Includes an application form that routes directly to his inbox via Supabase. Next phase is turning it into a proper driver management tool so he can review applications, track status, and manage contacts without leaving the site.

How much can a local model do on-device with real documents?
A native iOS app for owner-operators. Photograph or upload a rate confirmation or settlement PDF, let the app read it, pull out what matters, and help process it — all on-device, no cloud required. The trucking industry runs on paperwork. This was an experiment in whether local AI could actually handle it.

Can a local model reason from curated knowledge — without touching the internet?
An AI assistant built specifically for truckers — not a general chatbot, but one trained on curated knowledge libraries: load calculations, HOS regulations, route patterns, fuel economics, the business logic of running your own rig. Ask it whether a load is worth taking and it reasons from that knowledge, entirely on-device.

What does it take to actually own your own infrastructure?
Pulled out all the subscription-based network gear and rebuilt the whole house on a Unifi rack — wired throughout, PoE cameras running 24/7, an AI key that recognizes faces at the door. A NAS running Docker containers for self-hosted apps. An M4 Mac mini running local models via Ollama.
On the drawing board
The Circle
A clean radius map app — set an address, define a boundary, know if you're inside it. Built for truckers navigating agricultural exemption zones, but useful for anyone who needs to think in circles.
Ballpark Pass
A personal tracker for someone on a mission to see every MLB team play in their home stadium. History, visits, memories — all in one place.
Hello Neighbor
A contact app with a twist — visualize your neighbors the way a building actually looks, floor by floor, with little avatars showing who lives where.
Poetry app
Not a notes app. A stage. A place where poems can be presented — animated on screen, set to a mood, built to be read aloud.
Most of these will eventually get their own writeup — what I built, what I learned, what I'd do differently. Check back. The bench is never empty.
