Selected Work
10+ years of front-end and design work, one very unconventional media project, and what I'm building now. Recent AI-era builds first — each with a short decision log, because the interesting part is what I kept, what I cut, and why.

Building with AI agents
I set the architecture, direct the agents, and review every change.
FLIGHT DECK in progress
A self-hosted dashboard framework where every widget is a folder you can copy, edit, and share; no build step, no dependencies, no lock-in. It pulls GitHub activity, service status, system and network monitoring, feeds, processes, disks, and container health onto one responsive screen that holds up from a wall display to a phone. Taken from scratch to shipping through AI-assisted development — where the differentiator isn't the generated code, it's the engineering judgment directing it.
- I direct and review the AI; the architecture and the calls are mine. The real work is the judgment in the loop — catching the confident-but-wrong diagnosis, driving the running product to surface what passing tests hide, and turning each recurring bug into a check that ends the class.
- A framework built to be extended, not just used. A declarative module contract, an enforced capability model, and structured, diagnosable errors — enough that it can host untrusted third-party widgets, not only the ones I wrote.
- Production homelab behind it. Self-hosting, networking, and systems administration across the machines it monitors — the infrastructure is real, not a demo.
Stack
War Chest
A searchable, faceted index of 369 AI agent skills gathered from seven GitHub repositories — Google, Hugging Face, Matt Pocock, Addy Osmani and others — measured against the open Agent Skills specification. A Python pipeline builds it; the interface is vanilla JavaScript with zero runtime dependencies and runs from a single offline HTML file.
- Read the standard, surveyed the field, then designed. A six-facet tag vocabulary derived deterministically from each skill's own text and file tree — no hand-tagging.
- A score you can argue with. A computed 0–100 forge score (graded S–D) with every weight written down, next to personal star ratings, status, and notes.
- Tools, not just a list. Field-operator search, near-duplicate detection across repos, side-by-side compare, a coverage heatmap, and an install-kit exporter that pulls each skill from its original repository.
- Three builds from one source. A 3.5 MB offline single file, a 0.5 MB catalogue, and a static site that loads the index first and fetches skill bodies on demand.
redistribute:false flag keeps it indexed-only, fetched from the source when opened.Stack

Claude Instruct
A free, no-sign-up builder for Claude project instructions. Pick a use-case profile, toggle pre-written rule blocks, edit anything inline, and generate a clean .txt to paste into a Claude project. Fourteen blocks and about 150 editable lines, in one self-contained HTML file.
- Profile-first flow. Choosing a use case seeds the sections with recommended rules already ticked; every other preset stays one click away.
- Nothing ships half-written. Bracketed placeholders are highlighted in the live preview with a running count of what's still unfilled.
- Built for real use. Drag-to-reorder blocks, autosave, JSON export and import, keyboard shortcuts, light and dark themes, responsive to phone width.
- The README is a landing page. Demo GIF, before/after comparison, and developer docs moved out to their own file.
?profile= deep links, then pulled them when the URL rewriting proved intrusive.range
Running the whole operation
Brand, community, and a live show — not just the website.
POAPathon
An end-to-end creative operation for a web3 media & design project — not a single deliverable, but the brand, the community, and the show that ran it.
- Grew and managed a Discord community to a peak of approximately 10,000 members.
- Produced and hosted roughly 45 episodes of a live YouTube show, booking and interviewing dozens of guests from organizations including Gitcoin, BanklessDAO, UMA, QiDAO, PeopleDAO, LayerZero, Volatility Protocol, ETHstaker, and Rocket Pool.
- Directed brand identity and design competitions; managed artist submissions and judging, building a reputation for reliable artwork fulfillment.
- Assisted with treasury management, helping coordinate roughly $120K in artist payouts.
- Designed and developed Cryptogs, an NFT project extension of the brand.
- Built and maintained the project site on Webflow.
