RealmQR
A 3D scene that reads as a place from any angle, and as a scannable QR code from directly overhead.
I take things apart and make them work — helicopters once, cloud systems since, and lately whatever I decide is worth building. This is the working shelf: what is running, what I am in the middle of, and how to get at any of it.
Quick access
Live links and source for whatever is reachable right now. This is mostly here for me, but help yourself.
Building
A 3D scene that reads as a place from any angle, and as a scannable QR code from directly overhead.
A self-hosted photo platform with a containerized web app and a companion React Native client sharing one API.
Running
An outline of what a production ecommerce platform is actually made of — the build stack, the AWS infrastructure, and what it takes to run one.
A local, autonomous LLM agent that organizes files and triages email — built around a safety layer, not bolted onto one.
A sports site for my son — every game, meet and stat since 2024. The one project here measured in years of uptime rather than commits.
A walk-forward optimization engine over 1,700+ historical drawings, with overfitting detection that rolls the model back when it starts memorizing.
Shelved
Geolocated forecasts with cloud and precipitation overlays on a live map. Built in 2017, and dead since its data provider shut the API down.
A weekend build for a cruise — QR-tagged rubber ducks with AI photo moderation, and the audit I ran on myself before opening the repo.
A media organization suite that recovers true capture dates from EXIF and video metadata, merges Snapchat overlays, and de-duplicates by content hash.
Hands-on workshop labs for Amazon Kinesis and Amazon Redshift, written to be run by people learning the services for the first time.
What is left on the old shelf: an encrypted multi-threaded chat server, Battleship, and the first time I put something on AWS.
An AWS TechU cohort capstone: a Raspberry Pi feeding photos into a Rekognition face-matching and label-detection pipeline, with a MediaConvert transcoding stage behind it.
Sixty-four lines of hand-written HTML. The first web page I ever built, and still public.
Live Wikipedia search against the OpenSearch API, with results rendered as you type. From my first personal site.
Random quote, random colour, one-click tweet. The smallest thing on this site, and the first one anybody else ever used.
An Android app that opens a physical lock over Bluetooth — built across three repositories in four days, each one a visible iteration on the last.
