Non-traditional developer and lifelong learner, building things mostly to figure out how they work. I'll play around with whatever looks fun on GitHub, break plenty along the way, and always learn something every time.

Most of what's here started as a real problem someone I know actually had — a restaurant operator buried in vendor invoices, a family coordinating care for a parent, a group that wanted a better tournament pool. I build the thing, put it in front of them, and fix what breaks once it meets real data.

• sousiq (private) — a food-costing and inventory platform for independent restaurants. Vendor invoices and bid sheets arrive as PDFs, spreadsheets and photos, get parsed into structured line items, and are matched against the restaurant's product library through a seven-tier cascade — deterministic tiers first, then constrained fuzzy matching, then pgvector semantic retrieval with model disambiguation only at the end. Model-derived matches are scored below their deterministic equivalents and anything ambiguous goes to a human. Accuracy is checked against a ground-truth set nightly in CI.

• prial (private) — a pipeline over SEC investment-adviser filings. Nineteen months of Form ADV bulk data resolved into a deduped roster of 25,387 registered firms, 144,076 named officers from Schedules A and B, and 22,273 firm websites, enriched across 36 attributes including strategy and period-over-period AUM growth. Resolving entities across filing periods is the genuinely hard part. (Python · Postgres · Docker)

• bracketeer — a multi-tenant tournament pool platform, running in production. Live scoring against an official answer key, real-time updates pushed over Server-Sent Events on Postgres LISTEN/NOTIFY, Stripe billing, an iOS wrap via Capacitor, and every external integration environment-gated so the app builds and runs green with no keys configured. (Next.js 16 · React 19 · TypeScript · Prisma · Postgres)

• carelog — an offline-first PWA where a small caregiving team logs the daily care of one patient by text, voice or photo. An async pipeline turns messy input into structured records that feed adherence tracking, reminders and doctor-visit reports. (Next.js · pg-boss · Prisma · Postgres)

• carecover — coordinating caregiving coverage over SMS. Post a window, family claims blocks, and whatever is still open at the deadline escalates to paid caregivers. Taking it through A2P 10DLC carrier registration taught me more than the code did. (Next.js · Prisma · Twilio)

• modular-mind — a multi-stage pipeline that decodes VCV Rack patch files, builds a corpus of module and patch knowledge, learns the structural patterns behind them, and generates new valid patches from what it learned. Half machine-learning project, half excuse to mess with synths. (Python)

• vcv-rack-plugin-mcp-server — driving a live modular synth patch from an MCP client. (C++)

• claude-code-placemat — a single-page cheatsheet for Claude Code that an agent keeps up to date on its own, so the reference maintains itself as the tool changes. My first experiment in "can this maintain itself?" Have a look →

Happy to walk through either of the private ones, or demo them live, on request.
