Most of my cool projects are locked away within the companies for which I built them. However, here are some things I can share!
Getting access to AAC tablets is a messy endeavor. Insurance and predatory companies are unfortunately the standard and some companies want to sell you software and an old iPad for upwards of $4000. If your child has special needs this can be a devastating and frustrating process simply for your child to have a voice. I experienced this firsthand and built Sayable as a simple and 100% free way for parents to get an AAC device right now on whatever device they have. I even worked up a way to install it in kiosk mode.
This is a great example of what an engineer can do with AI to make the world a little bit better.

To teach myself about AI orchestration, workflows, and context management I built Seneschal. It turned into a really fun project that I use to experiment with one-shot AI features and projects. It's also a good sandbox for tinkering with new approaches to automation.

I used to play ASCII chess over chat with my brother. I loved that it was asynchronous and I could pick it up and leave it as needed. I thought it would be fun to build something like a text-adventure that could work in a similar fashion. After about 5 rewrites, I finally released it!

I heard about an amazing project that allowed you to transmit an FM signal right out of the GPIO pins of a Raspberry Pi. That got me thinking and that thinking turned into this crazy idea: a radio broadcast summarizing the events from your smart devices, emails, and the weather - all fully automated - even the vocals. This project is very much a work in progress but a functional proof of concept that I have actively working in my home.

My son loves the self-checkout at Dollar General. He enjoys it with the intensity that only an autistic child is capable of - and it's wonderful. So I took a couple of evenings and used Alpine.js and TailwindCSS to build a web-version he could experience on his tablet.
