THINGS I BUILT AND SHIPPED

Three projects that show the range: systems performance, computer vision, and developer tooling.

01 / Desktop & computer vision

IRis + SketchLogic

A digital logic circuit simulator. Draw a circuit on paper, photograph it, and it becomes a running simulation. No LLMs, no paid APIs.

02 / Search systems

NextSearch

A search engine written in C++ over the 1M-article CORD-19 research corpus. Inverted index with BM25 ranking, lexicon-backed autocomplete, and AI overviews layered on top.

03 / Developer tooling

gitree

A command-line replacement for ls that reads folder structures and packages an entire codebase for an LLM prompt. Open source, published on PyPI.

WHAT I TAKE ON

01

Desktop applications

Cross-platform tools in .NET and Avalonia, PyQt or Electron. Self-contained builds for Windows, Linux and macOS, so your users double-click one file and it runs.

C# · .NET · Avalonia · PyQt · Electron
02

Backends & systems

APIs and data systems where speed is the requirement, not a nice-to-have. Indexing, ranking, caching strategy and the profiling work that makes a slow endpoint fast.

C++ · Python · Node · REST · SQL
03

Computer vision & AI automation

Fine-tuned detection models, OpenCV pipelines and LLM integrations that do a specific job well, not a chatbot bolted onto a product that did not need one.

YOLO · OpenCV · PyTorch · Azure OpenAI
04

Web products

Next.js and MERN builds with real billing attached: Stripe subscriptions, auth, vector search. Designed in Figma first, then built to match.

How I work

CODE YOU CAN STILL READ IN A YEAR

I use AI the way it works: to ask questions, trace logic and check approaches. The decisions (what goes in, what stays out, what the trade-off costs) stay with me. That is the difference between a codebase you can hand to the next engineer and one nobody wants to open.

01

Scope before code

We agree on what ships, what it costs and when. No moving targets halfway through.

02

Working builds, early

You get something you can run and click, not screenshots of progress.

03

Tested and documented

CI, unit tests and a README written for a human. Handoff is part of the job, not an extra.

04

You own everything

Source, repo, credentials and deployment. No lock-in, no retainer required to keep it running.
