CURRENT EXPLORATIONS / OCTOBER 2026

Building with AI.
Beyond the prompt.

I use ChatGPT, Codex and local models to turn product ideas into working software—then test, refine and connect the pieces.

01 / PRIVATE WORKING APPLICATION

A workspace that remembers.

Task Mind connects project memory, tasks, creative canvases and local AI assignments. Recent work brings source-backed research, file delivery and visible human review into the same workspace.

My focus: product design, context boundaries, agent workflows and reliable saves.

02 / INVITATION-ONLY VOICE PILOT

From a goal to a conversation.

Call Assistant combines a clear call brief, scheduled execution, two-way AI voice and a reviewable outcome. The private pilot connects OpenAI voice with Twilio and keeps permissions, duration and spending boundaries visible.

My focus: voice UX, scheduling, integration and recovery when a call is uncertain.

Inside Call Assistant ↗

03 / PRACTICE SOFTWARE PILOT

A little space. A real conversation.

Talk brings scheduling, private invitations, a waiting room and video-session controls into one calm practice experience. Built with React, Node, SQLite and LiveKit, with integration adapters for calendars and reminders.

My focus: the full client journey, practice operations and AI-assisted implementation.

What the pilot includes

Recurring appointments, timezone and overlap checks, therapist admission, screen-sharing controls and an auditable delivery queue. Provider integrations require their own live checks; this is a software pilot, not a certified clinical platform.

04 / PLAYABLE GAME IN DEVELOPMENT

An imagined world, made playable.

Enoch and the Hidden Heavens explores AI-assisted game creation: a Godot adventure with quests, exploration, magic, character art and saved progress. The work connects narrative, generated assets and the details that make a game feel playable.

My focus: creative direction, gameplay iteration and bringing art and code together.

Inside the development work

A playable local adventure with meadow districts, guided objectives, sword and bow interactions, movement abilities and checkpoint recovery. AI-assisted character and environment work is integrated into the game; it remains in active development.

HOW I WORK WITH AI

I set the direction and stay accountable for the result. ChatGPT and Codex help me explore, design, implement and test. Local models support bounded private workflows. I review the output, verify behavior and iterate against the experience a person actually needs.

01 / THE CONNECTING THREAD

Big-picture thinking.
Hands-on building.

The interesting part is where the pieces meet.

An AI agent is only useful when it understands the work. A beautiful interface earns its place when it makes something easier. And a product succeeds when the whole system holds together.

I bring enterprise delivery experience into hands-on builds—connecting the customer journey, the technology and the decisions that make a product useful.

CASE STUDY 01 / AI systems

Task Mind

An operating system for ideas.

Working private application

The opportunity

Work gets fragmented across notes, chats, task boards and AI conversations. I am building Task Mind to keep the idea, its context and the next action together. The product combines a practical daily workspace with a creative studio and a second brain.

What I built

A project workbench with task boards, lists, mind maps, creative canvases, project memory and a capture inbox. The same underlying task can appear in different views without becoming a competing copy. Human and AI ownership, review states and visible agent progress make delegation understandable.

How it works

A Next.js and React interface works against a durable PGlite database. Version checks protect edits; operation IDs make retries safer. Selected project context becomes a bounded AI assignment through the existing local-team service. Generated work returns for review before it becomes accepted project content.

The product decisions

I focused on continuity: preserve drafts when a save conflicts, retain source context, make imports reviewable and show whether an agent is working or waiting. Spatial maps and a playful creative studio help people explore, while the task views turn those ideas into concrete work.

CURRENT DELIVERY

Durable tasks, versioned project context, local agent assignments and review workflows are implemented. The workspace is private and continues to evolve.

CASE STUDY 02 / AI systems

Auto Caller

Give the call a brief. Get your time back.

Invitation-only voice pilot

The opportunity

Everyday telephone tasks consume attention: chasing an update, asking for information or finding appointment options. I designed a calling assistant around a simple interaction: explain the task, define what it may share and decide when it should call.

What I built

A responsive web application with scheduled briefs, profiles, practice calls, transcripts, call history, duration limits and an Android companion. Invitation-only accounts and explicit sharing boundaries keep the pilot focused. A free practice workspace lets someone understand the experience before a real telephone call.

How it works

A Node.js service stores the private workflow in SQLite and connects Twilio bidirectional media streams to OpenAI conversational voice over WebSockets. The scheduler checks permissions, destination allowlists and budget reservations before dispatch. Private content is encrypted; uncertain call state blocks blind retries.

What the evidence shows

A documented 37-second telephone test on September 30 demonstrated two-way audio, transcript events and finalized usage, with clear and responsive speech reported by the recipient. That validates the tested voice path. The broader service remains a pilot; unrestricted calling, full phone-menu navigation and human takeover are future work.

CURRENT DELIVERY

Real telephone test completed; public practice experience and invitation-only pilot. The PC-hosted pilot depends on its current runtime being available.

CASE STUDY 03 / Web & learning

Start with Reflexology

An entire learning experience.

Website live · School in development

The opportunity

A great course needs more than a library of videos. Learners need a clear journey, opportunities to practice, useful feedback and something they can take into their own work. I am helping translate Ruth’s subject expertise into that complete digital experience.

What I built

A public course website, a custom Moodle school, a learning studio and instructor-editable workbook activities. The school includes saved reflections, choices, checklists, tables, numeric planning questions, completion state and private PDF exports. The public experience connects course discovery, the curriculum, Ruth’s story, a journal and the forthcoming book.

How it works

The public site introduces the learning journey and hosted Stripe checkout. The school uses PHP and MariaDB with custom Moodle modules, a tailored theme, H5P activities and native quizzes. Account-owned answers autosave with revision checks. PDF generation turns reviewed workbook answers into a useful personal artifact.

School, website and book together

I connected the information architecture, visual identity, course structure and supporting editorial workflow. Ruth remains the author and subject expert. The course preview maps source lessons into a 12-section structure; filmed teaching and final course details remain in development. The book is forthcoming, with research and editorial review supporting its preparation.

CURRENT DELIVERY

Public website is live. Custom school modules and an editable course preview are built; final teaching content remains in development.

CASE STUDY 04 / AI systems

Cenedril

Private intelligence. Human control.

Public website & Labs release

The opportunity

Organizations need AI that fits their information, workflows and constraints. I founded Cenedril around a practical question: how can capable AI remain useful while people retain control of context, models, tools and data location?

The public experience

The website organizes the practice into services, software and Labs. It gives visitors clear entry points into private AI systems, business knowledge, model evaluation and human-controlled agents. The visual system carries a distinctive technical identity while explaining the business purpose.

The systems behind the story

Cenedril Labs presents FuzzyClaw Reticulated: a local AI workspace and an operator-controlled Reticulum communications console. Its public release describes local GGUF models, user-held workspace data, explicit context and web-access controls, and guided Windows/Linux installation.

My product approach

Connect an operating need to a small useful system, make the assumptions inspectable and evaluate privacy, control, reliability and model fit. Continuing research areas include local and edge operation, governed business knowledge and controlled communication. Those focus areas are presented separately from released capabilities.

CURRENT DELIVERY

Public services and Labs website, with a published FuzzyClaw Reticulated release. Research areas are identified as ongoing work.

CASE STUDY 05 / AI systems

ListenBot

Keep the thought. Choose the next move.

Android development build

The opportunity

Good ideas arrive away from a keyboard. A voice note is easy to make and easy to lose. I designed ListenBot to preserve the thought and carry it into an existing project without treating everything said aloud as an instruction.

What I built

A native Android capture client paired with Task Mind’s review inbox. Explicit Start and Stop controls, short clips, encrypted pending storage, visible delivery stages and retry states give the person control over recording and recovery. Nearby clips can be read together as a conversation.

How it works

The phone receives a scoped device credential protected by Android Keystore. Audio queues locally before upload. A private Python/Faster Whisper service transcribes one recording at a time on the PC. Task Mind displays the transcript and original clips for correction, then lets the user file a task, idea, note or decision.

The important distinction

Saved on the phone, received by the server and transcribed are separate states. A receipt is not a transcript. A spoken command is not automatic authorization. The product makes those boundaries visible and preserves pending work through temporary failures.

CURRENT DELIVERY

Android development build and local transcription integration. Actual phone speech was tested; general speaker recognition and autonomous voice commands are not claimed.

Back to selected work ↑

CASE STUDY 06 / Web & learning

Kickassweb.site

Beautiful websites that do real work.

Public business website

The opportunity

Small businesses need a coherent digital presence: pages that explain the offer, clear paths to action and a site that can grow with the business. I built Kickassweb.site around that complete service, combining expressive design with practical systems thinking.

What I built

A distinctive public studio website with a DNA-inspired visual narrative, scroll progression, services, process, selected design concepts and a project inquiry flow. It explains multi-page websites, stores, booking experiences, memberships, custom applications and ongoing support.

How it works

A lightweight HTML, CSS and JavaScript site connects editorial content, responsive layouts and interactive before/after comparisons. The information architecture moves visitors from the business problem through relevant services and the delivery process to a clear next step.

Design with honest evidence

The featured restaurant and fictional law-firm redesigns are explicitly labeled design demonstrations. I use them to show visual direction and journey improvement without presenting concepts as completed client engagements. The commercial offer is scoped around each business’s needs.

CURRENT DELIVERY

Live business website, interactive redesign demonstrations and a connected service narrative.

CASE STUDY 07 / Workflow tools

Veterinary workflow tools

Clarity when every detail matters.

Clinical prototype & log automation

The opportunity

Clinical teams need to record observations and medications while staying focused on the patient. Drug-log reconciliation creates a second challenge: carrying source entries into consistent bottle records without losing exceptions or inventing missing information.

The anesthesia prototype

I built and iterated an iPad anesthesia-log prototype with five-minute vital prompts, ten-minute temperature reminders, tap-to-count vitals, timestamped medication and event entries, procedure and recovery tracking, and code/resuscitation workflows. The resume records local case storage, PDF/JSON export and a Shepherd attachment path.

The drug-log workflow

A separate transformation process reorganized source logs into bottle-based records, preserved source and output versions and recorded parsing exceptions. The saved April summary documents handling for continuation doses, zero/non-numeric values and explicit preparation entries. The goal was a reviewable reconciliation trail rather than silently filling gaps.

Validation and professional boundaries

The October 1 resume records 111 automated tests for the anesthesia prototype. That is software-test evidence, not clinical validation or approval for autonomous treatment decisions. These diagrams explain the product workflow; private patient records are excluded and the original prototype screens are not reproduced here.

CURRENT DELIVERY

Prototype and reconciliation work documented in the supplied resume and retained transformation summary. Visuals here are workflow diagrams, not clinical application screenshots.

CASE STUDY 08 / Workflow tools

Job Application System

An accountable AI job-search copilot.

Working local application

The opportunity

A job search becomes a data-integrity problem as applications, custom resumes, questions and browser forms multiply. I built a local manager that keeps the evidence, progress and exact next step together across sessions.

What I built

A dashboard with application tracking, a Needs your help inbox, reusable scoped answers, resume path/hash references, live-form checkpoints, local AI drafting and an append-only activity trail. Human preparation work and confirmed employer receipts are distinct states.

How it works

Node.js and built-in SQLite maintain the canonical record. The manager assembles relevant job context, approved answers and selected resume evidence into a bounded request for the shared local-team queue. Hermes/OpenClaw use the existing Qwen model infrastructure. Drafts return with references and remain drafts until reviewed.

Reliability by design

Request IDs are persisted before dispatch, uncertain results are reconciled before retry and imported history does not overwrite current answers. Final external submission stays with the applicant. Saved browser handoffs preserve the actual form and the precise blocker, making the final review actionable.

CURRENT DELIVERY

Working local manager with durable application state, scoped answers, resume provenance, queue integration and human review. The public images use an isolated demonstration database.
