PROJECT RANGE / USEFUL → EXPERIMENTAL → SYSTEMIC

Start with what it does. Go deeper when you are curious.

You should not need a software background to understand why a project exists. This page begins with recognizable tools and outcomes, then opens the technical doors for people who want architecture, evidence, constraints, and unfinished work.

  • 01 What a person can recognize
  • 02 What is actually built
  • 03 What remains uncertain
Plain English firstEvery card begins with the human outcome.
Status stays honestPrototype, dormant, private, and incomplete are real states.
Depth is optionalTechnical architecture opens only when you ask for it.
AI stays boundedAutomation accelerates work; judgment and authority remain human.

QUICK BUILDS / 01

Useful in one sentence.

These projects begin with ordinary life: splitting an expense, seeing time, organizing an inbox, or helping a small business communicate clearly. Their internals still matter, but the reason for building them is visible immediately.

01 · Everyday money toolDormant prototype

WHAT IT DOES

OweList

A private ledger for shared expenses: who paid, how the cost was split, what is still owed, and when the balance was settled.

A PERSON CAN

Create two people, record one shared expense, see the resulting balance, mark it settled, and preserve the history.

CURRENT TRUTH

The original SwiftUI and SwiftData prototype needs a current Xcode build audit before I claim that it runs today.

  • SwiftUI
  • SwiftData
  • CSV export
Private working repositorySource stays private until its next validation pass.
02 · Visual calendar experimentBuilt, awaiting compiler verification

WHAT IT DOES

Calenview

A calendar where upcoming events travel toward you through a 3D time tunnel: sooner means larger and closer; later fades into the distance.

A PERSON CAN

See Apple Calendar events as depth, then move between the experimental horizon, ordinary calendar views, and repeatable routines.

CURRENT TRUTH

The source covers the planned interface and scheduling phases, but the first current Xcode build remains the validation gate.

  • SwiftUI
  • SceneKit
  • EventKit
Private working repositorySource stays private until its next validation pass.
03 · Inbox organizerMVP framework

WHAT IT DOES

Inbox Kernel

A local email organizer that turns messages into receipts, contact timelines, deals, security notices, and items that need human review.

A PERSON CAN

Run a mock inbox import and inspect the dashboard, resolved people or companies, and the review queue without sending or deleting anything.

CURRENT TRUTH

It uses a mock provider today. It does not connect to Gmail yet, and every extracted record remains traceable to a source message.

  • SwiftUI
  • SwiftData
  • Review-first automation
04 · Small-business redesignComplete redesign concept

WHAT IT DOES

From The Floor Up Website System

A hostable website and local-search package for a remodeling business, including service pages, real project photos, legal templates, launch notes, and contact-flow options.

A PERSON CAN

A business owner gets a complete site package plus a concrete checklist for claims, photos, forms, compliance, search visibility, and launch.

CURRENT TRUTH

The redesign package is complete through its latest SEO pass, but it has not replaced the business's current live website.

  • Static HTML
  • Local SEO
  • Launch documentation
Private working repositorySource stays private until its next validation pass.

DEEP SYSTEMS / 02

The plumbing is available, not compulsory.

The cards below stay understandable while preserving the technical record. Open a card when you want the problem, system boundary, implementation, evidence, technologies, and remaining validation work.

01 · Private field notebookActive prototype

WHAT IT DOES

Road Kernel

A private map notebook for roads, traffic signals, and travel observations that keeps the data locally owned and makes every record traceable.

Open technical depthproblem · boundary · implementation · evidence · remaining work
Why it exists
General navigation products do not preserve a person's field notes, timing samples, or manually confirmed road observations as an inspectable data layer they control.
What it does not claim
It is not navigation, traffic prediction, or a safety-critical system. Attribution remains manual, and signed data proves origin and integrity rather than correctness.
What is built now
SwiftUI, MapKit, SwiftData, and CryptoKit source covers road assets, observations, JSON and signed exports, Keychain-backed identity, mock or GPS telemetry, local peer transport, and diagnostics.
  • SwiftUI
  • MapKit
  • SwiftData
  • CryptoKit

Evidence attached

  • Unit-test sources cover models, export behavior, signing, pairing, and matching logic
  • Architecture, risk, setup, and running documents state validation gates and failure modes
  • The design requires no account or cloud service and includes signed-record verification support

What remains

The full Mac, Xcode, simulator, and paired-device validation sequence remains unfinished. The OBD source is still a stub, and safe field interaction requires real-world testing.

02 · Explainable memory researchResearch prototype

WHAT IT DOES

Social Memory Vault

A memory engine that can retrieve related ideas and show the connection path instead of returning only a mysterious similarity score.

Open technical depthproblem · boundary · implementation · evidence · remaining work
Why it exists
Similarity search can miss structurally related information, while graph traversal alone cannot tell which relationships matter to the current query.
What it does not claim
This is an inspectable research library, not a production database or hosted service. The included implementation runs locally without an API key or model download.
What is built now
A Python package provides an in-memory graph, deterministic hashing embedder, configurable multi-hop diffusion, ranking, explanation paths, context assembly, a demo, and validation tests.
  • Python
  • Sparse graphs
  • Vector retrieval
  • Pytest

Evidence attached

  • Tests check exact diffusion values for the reference graph
  • Typed edges and weighted paths remain visible in retrieval explanations
  • The standard-library runtime exposes a pluggable Embedder protocol

What remains

The included embedder is lexical, storage is in memory, and persistence, migrations, authentication, a service API, production benchmarks, and large-graph optimization are not implemented.

03 · Cyber learning simulationMVP

WHAT IT DOES

CyberSim

A safe browser simulation that shows how a fake computer infection spreads and how patching, network separation, and quarantine change the outcome.

Open technical depthproblem · boundary · implementation · evidence · remaining work
Why it exists
Security concepts need a safe learning environment that demonstrates cause and effect without producing malicious code or touching a real system.
What it does not claim
Every node, file, packet, infection, and command is a plain in-memory object. The simulator performs no real networking, file access, cryptography, payload generation, exploitation, or C2 traffic.
What is built now
A dependency-free static JavaScript app runs block instructions against a fake LAN, records a visible event log, models patched nodes, and lets a defender quarantine simulated machines.
  • JavaScript
  • Static web
  • In-memory simulation

Evidence attached

  • engine.js contains the in-memory simulation core while ui.js is limited to DOM interaction
  • The application runs as static files with no build step or runtime dependencies
  • The README documents defensive controls and the no-I/O safety boundary

What remains

The planned teaching terminal, blue-team scripting, drag-and-drop ordering, and shareable lesson scenarios are not part of the current MVP.

EXPANDING PRACTICE / 03

Not every system begins as software.

I am beginning to treat photography, collected objects, repaired devices, field notes, and personal archives as one connected creative practice. A photograph can be evidence. A collection can be a memory system. Reused hardware can become infrastructure, an installation, or both.

The public layer is still being assembled. I would rather label that honestly than manufacture a finished portfolio overnight.

01Photography

People, places, objects, and the visual evidence of a life in motion.

02Living archives

Collections made searchable, contextual, and connected without flattening their stories.

03Repair + reuse

Old devices and materials reconsidered as useful systems rather than immediate waste.

04Community tools

Small, consent-based infrastructure that grows from actual shared needs.

TOOL PHILOSOPHY / 04

AI is a power tool. It does not inherit the keys.

HUMANSets the objective and grants authority.
AIExpands options, drafts, searches, and accelerates implementation.
EVIDENCETests what exists instead of rewarding convincing language.
BOUNDARYKeeps privacy, consent, reversibility, and unfinished work visible.

CURRENT OPERATING MODE

Build small enough to inspect. Think large enough to matter.
