I've been on sabbatical (not on leave from anywhere, just decided to take a break from work) for months now, taking some time for myself. Minimal tech stuff until more recently, but now I'm back in the deep end.

The main thing I'm currently working on is a platform for organizing and discovering in-person events. Still not certain about the boundaries for "Phase 1", but I have a bunch of ideas in that space that I've been incubating for a while. One subset of features will be roughly similar to that app you've probably heard of that starts with 'M' and ends with 'p', but hopefully an improvement, at least for the right audience. But wait, there's more. :)

Currently building it; it's not public yet, so no link. Next month.

Thinking about how to grow the userbase is intimidating, but I think it might end up being fun.

I'm using TimescaleDB to manage 450GB of stocks and options data from Massive (what used to be polygon.io), and I've been getting LLM agents to iterate over academic research to see if anything works to improve trading with backtesting. It's an addictive slot machine where I pull the lever and the dials spin as I hope for the sound of a jackpot. 999 out of 1000 winning models do so because of look-ahead bias, which m…

Fun fact - some of it may be a subset of all data and with trimmed outlying points, so when you set some stop loss conditions they get tripped in the real world, but not by your dataset. Get data from my sources.

Goofy sideprojects: https://dnsisbeautiful.com - clean, ad free dns lookup tool. https://evvl.ai - combination of Github Gists and AI output comparisons (evals) https://finalfinalreallyfinaluntitleddocumentv3.com/ - free mac app to intelligently rename any kind of file (photos, videos, audio, text) based upon their contents.

I like finalfinalreallyfinaluntitleddocumentv3.com Now you don't have to worry about getting domain names, you can version them all the way with the vX. The final boss can be finalfinalreallyfinaluntitleddocumentv3_final.com

I wanted to build a landing page for my gf, but since LLMs make it so simple I'm building SaaS for Psychoeducation.

Modifications to my Land Cruiser j90

- LED daytime running lights / off-road LED light bar

- Winch

- Front left – tie rod end (both)

- Rear axle – pinion bearing (loud while driving)

- Right rear brake caliper – brake fluid leaking from the piston

- Boost chip (chip + turbo tee), Kill switch

I'm building two things, both game related. Over the last year I've been hacking on Table Slayer [0] a web tool for projecting DnD maps on purpose built TV-in-table setups. Right now I'm working on making hardware that supports large format touch displays. Since I also play boardgames, this past month I threw together Counter Slayer [1], which helps you generate STLs for box game inserts. Both projects are open sourc…

Cool! I was going to shamelessly ask if your DnD group had an open spot I could interview for :), but you're not in Austin.

(If you're a local reading this and enjoy DnD w/ roleplay and acting, email's in my profile)

I posted another comment about my main project, but on the side, I'm working on an ergonomic local sandbox management tool. Yes, for AI agents, but also for anything else. Crowded space — there's one at the top of the homepage right now — but at the very least it'll work the way I want it to. Currently dogfooding that; if it gets decent I'd likely open-source it.

Also a bunch of other smaller projects and ideas.

I am working on creating an Even Driven Architecture framework for Kotlin.

I went through the Software Architecture Patterns for Serverless Systems book, which I think it is fantastic. I learned a lot but I still had a lot of doubts to actually use the ideas in real life. So I started dissecting the companion framework, which is in written in Typescript. I have been going piece by piece and converting to Kotlin which I think it is more expressive (and fun) and it is allowing me to understand how everything fits together.

Typescript framework: https://github.com/jgilbert01/aws-lambda-stream
