I'm a FinOps engineer in Austin. I build AI tools for finance and operations work.

Everything below is MIT unless its README says otherwise.

Repo	What it is
orchestrator	A Claude Code bundle that runs an adversarial reviewer over every deliverable and blocks the turn from ending until the work passes a scored rubric. Your standards are files it reads.
Trading-Bot	A bot that trades an Alpaca account, records a falsifiable prediction for every decision, scores them when they come due, and writes its own post-mortems. When its playbook can't express a fix, it files a change request and implements it with Claude Code.
shortsmith	A video generator for Shorts and Reels. Scenes are React components rendered by Remotion, and the composition length comes from the real narration duration, so rewriting a line re-times the animation.
job-finder	A scraper that pulls job boards on a schedule, collapses the aggregator reposts, scores each posting against a profile with Claude, and emails a digest.
n8n-builder	An MCP server for building n8n workflows from a conversation, scoped so it can only ever touch the ones it created.
NOVA	A 3D dashboard showing your agents as stars in orbit. Click one to read its status and what it's working on.

Repo	What it is
focus-mode	A Chrome extension: Pomodoro timer and time tracker. The timer derives elapsed time from a stored timestamp, so it survives the service worker getting killed. No account, no cloud.
hotmic	A Windows app for push-to-talk dictation that's safe to leave running while you play. Whisper runs on your machine, and games are hard-blocked from ever being an injection target.
scrawl	A Windows app that lets you draw on top of anything on screen. Global hotkey, smoothed strokes, sits in the tray.
BotSpotter	A Chrome extension that highlights probably-AI-written text on any page, by linguistic pattern, with tunable sensitivity.

Repo	What it is
flight-finder	A flight search app for the question Google Flights won't answer. You have 10 plausible airports and 15 plausible date pairs, and it sweeps the whole matrix and ranks the combinations, with a drive-time column so a cheap fare into a far airport can't pretend the drive is free.
ShortCut	An auto-editor for Reels and Shorts. Point it at raw clips and it cuts the silences, transcribes, burns captions, drops repeated phrases, and exports.
phone-caller	A softphone. Make and take real phone calls from your PC over Twilio, showing your own number as the caller ID.
recall	A spaced repetition flashcard app. Cards are a JSON file you can read and edit, and the import format is written to hand straight to an AI.
prompt-vault	A searchable library for the prompts you actually reuse, kept as a JSON file you can diff.
by-humans	A social feed where a post has to be typed by a person. Keystroke timing is checked in the browser and again on the server.
Unified-Dashboard	A kiosk dashboard putting follower counts, subscription revenue, site traffic, and host system stats on one screen. Built for a Raspberry Pi.
netscore	A net worth tracker displayed as an arcade high score. Pulls balances through Plaid daily and records every all-time high.
notion-template-maker	Python builders for Notion pages, so a page is diffable and repeatable, plus a Claude Code skill that structures raw content into one.

Repo	What it is
iron-dunes	A tank game. Open-world survival in a persistent desert: drill buried deposits, haul the cargo home before somebody kills you and takes it, fight three rival clans, spend promotions on upgrades. A from-scratch revival of Battlefield 2: Rogue Battalions, a Flash game from bonus.com that went away when the site shut down.
Streak-Counter	A counter that counts up from a date, live, with milestones. The date is in the URL, so a counter is a link you can send. One HTML file.
PricingGuide	A pricing and ROI calculator for use live on a sales call. One HTML file.

Repo	What it is
Austin-Accountability-Tracker	A monitor for Austin city spending, contracts, campaign contributions, and lobbyist records. It runs anomaly detection over them and escalates entities that keep turning up, cross-referencing datasets the city publishes separately.
voter-roll-auditor	A dashboard over a county voter roll that derives address density and voting aggregates. You bring your own copy of the data, and a generator makes a synthetic one so it runs without it.
