GPU-native virtual machine that runs inside LLM inference. Embeds a Lisp/C interpreter directly in the token generation loop for zero-latency computation on Apple Silicon.
Minimal multi-tenant web OS. Single-command install, sandboxed terminals, Claude Code support. Ships as a single Go binary, runs anywhere.
iOS synthesizer built with Pure Data. Visual patching interface for creating custom instruments and audio processing chains.
Execution environment for legacy programmable spreadsheets. Runs complex macros with precise behavior matching, parsing binary formats, formula bytecode, and replicating original execution semantics.
Interactive exploration of Matula-Goebel numbers - bijection between integers and rooted trees. Research paper.
Math
Competitive SHA256 hash hunting. Find strings that produce the lowest possible hash values. Grammar-based generation with global leaderboard.
Crypto
Pi memorization game with audio feedback. Each digit plays a unique note. Pure client-side, no dependencies.
Education
Recursive PNG generation tool and DSL. Create complex procedural images through nested transformations.
Generative
Interactive Voronoi diagram generator with real-time animation. Classic computational geometry.
GeometryBrowser-based image manipulation and editing tools. Client-side processing.
Graphics
Evolutionary image glitching. Creates random variations with corrupted bits for humans to select and evolve aesthetically interesting results.
Glitch Art
iOS synthesizer with visual patching. Create custom instruments and audio chains.
iOS App
Original music track available on streaming platforms.
MusicOriginal music composition.

I'm a software engineer focused on AI systems, iOS development, and creative tools. My work spans from low-level GPU programming to web-based creative coding experiments.
Based in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. When not coding, I enjoy running, fitness, yoga, making art projects with my three kids, and visits to the American Helicopter Museum.
