projects & experiments
June
2026an open-source, local-first ai assistant for linux. it reads your screen through the accessibility bus, transcribes your meetings on-device with whisper.cpp, and turns whatever you promised on a call into a task. bring your own brain (gemini, claude, or chatgpt), everything else stays on your machine.
Spotter
2026a frozen robot policy does pick-and-place in mujoco while a 3-agent gemma 4 pipeline on Cerebras watches for failures and rewrites its instructions mid-episode. Cerebras inference is fast enough (2-4s for all three agents) to correct the robot while the episode is still running. built solo in 24 hours.
Chronocept
2024-2025humans have a 6th (or 7th) sense called chronoception, an intuition for perceiving time. we tried to give that to machines. accepted at EACL SRW 2026.
shape-builder
2025an extension for Meshery's Infrastructure-as-a-Design service, allows users to define custom topology for their infrastructure designs. Custom-made for Kanvas.
