Toolkit · In use now

Capabilities and tech stack

AI, automation, hardware prototyping, software, design, video, and games. This is the toolkit in use now.

Applied AI and agents

AI that runs in production.

Agents, retrieval, and the testing that keeps them honest. See AI Agents to Production.

Claude, OpenAI, and Gemini APIs Open-weight models (Llama, Hermes) Multi-agent systems Model Context Protocol (MCP) Agent2Agent (A2A) Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) Vector search (pgvector, Pinecone, FAISS) Knowledge graphs (Neo4j) Evals and regression testing LLM classification Semantic search Prompt engineering

Workflow automation

The busywork, wired together.

Lead intel, inboxes, CRM updates, texts, and the hand-keyed steps between your systems.

n8n Zapier Webhooks and REST APIs Twilio (SMS) SendGrid (email) HubSpot Salesforce QuickBooks Firecrawl Tavily Apollo.io enrichment

Hardware and physical prototyping

When the answer is a thing you can hold.

A sensor on a machine, a kiosk at an event, a device prototype you can test before you fund it. Arduino and Raspberry Pi on the bench, computer vision at the edge.

Computer vision and documents

Cameras and paperwork, read by machines.

PyTorch TensorFlow OpenCV YOLO Hugging Face ONNX Object detection Image segmentation OCR and document classification Roboflow and CVAT labeling

Questions

Can you build hardware prototypes, not just software?
Yes. Device prototypes on Arduino and Raspberry Pi, sensor integration, interactive installations, body tracking and gesture recognition, and computer vision running at the edge on NVIDIA Jetson and Raspberry Pi.
Which AI models do you work with?
Claude, OpenAI, and Gemini through their APIs, plus open-weight models such as Llama and Hermes. The model is picked per job.
Is this every technology you have ever used?
No. This page lists what is in use now. Older languages and platforms from the Flash and early web years show up in the portfolio, not here.

Got a problem that needs one of these?

A 30-minute call, no deck, no pitch. Tell me what you are trying to do and we work out whether this toolkit fits.
