Creative technologist building automations and browser applications, after a decade in film running prop departments. Both jobs come down to the same skill: anticipating what could go wrong and having the fix ready before it does.
Projects
RIP · URL TypeScript · Val Town · LLM APIs
An autonomous weekly newsletter of obituaries for dead domain names (ripurl.val.run). A state machine finds a candidate, checks that it’s really dead, and gathers evidence and an archived screenshot. Claude Opus writes the obituary from that evidence, and a separate fact-check audits every draft. Tests run on every push.
crierbaby JavaScript · Cloudflare Workers · vision AI
A self-hosted social media post scheduler. A vision model drafts captions and alt text, repeats are caught, and nothing posts without approval. Tested, including retries that never double-post.
Flatpack JavaScript · Obsidian Templater
Merges an Obsidian vault into one document, replacing repeated embeds with pointers. Cut a real 104,000-line export to 9,700.
Creative Browser Tools JavaScript · Canvas
A palette maker that pulls colors from a photo, and an image degrader that simulates resampling, color reduction, chroma bleed, and JPEG generation loss.
