I'm working on Envelope. It's a budgeting app that comes with a checking account built in. https://envelopebudgeting.com Because the checking account is built in, you can assign real money to digital envelopes for bills, groceries, savings, and everyday spending, then spend from the money with built-in checking, debit cards, and envelope-based spending controls.

The idea is to guide spending before it happens, not just track transactions afterward.

I’m working on PEAC Protocol.

Logs are local, but some claims need to travel. As agents, MCP tools, metered APIs, and automated payment flows do more work, there needs to be a simple way for another system to verify what was reported later. PEAC issues portable signed records for that boundary.

I regularly use about half a dozen programs that interface with radio equipment. Most of it works but getting it all working together is extremely complex.

Since primarily interested in FT8 and MeshCore here in the local SoCal MC region (wcmesh.com) I put together a Pure-Golang implementation to combine both modes into the same GUI client. The FT8 modem might be the only functional Golang decoder right now, unsure, but it’s entirely open source and here:

The workflow releases cross compiled for MacOS (notarized), Windows, Linux and uses Fyne for the UI.

In the future, I plan to add other more interesting modes like JS8Call and VeraHF modes, FT4 etc.

I've been toiling away for the past 2 years on a passion project. A native mobile app for the PWHL (Professional Women's Hockey League). It's privacy focused without ads and a bunch of features: https://pwhl.app

It uses flutter under the hood, with Kotlin and SwiftUI for native home screen widgets. A simple nodejs backend powers push notifications too.

In my effort to better understand Deeplearning I built this project (https://github.com/sateeshkumarb/anomaly_detection) to detect anomalies from a batch of loglines. I use 1D CNN and Siamese network (Triplet loss) to train the model to learn anomaly patterns from logs. The goal was to detect anomalies that emerge across multiple lines (e.g., error bursts) rather than just single-line keywords.

To validate the approach I trained the model on generating synthetic data. I did look at datasets available at: https://github.com/logpai/loghub, https://www.unb.ca/cic/datasets/index.html but couldn't find one that would suit my needs.

The approach seems to work on synthetic dataset (with ROC AUC score: 0.9957) but couldn't try it out in a real world dataset. Seeking feedback on the approach.

Good old fashioned machine learning (GOFML?) Using mixes of different sensor data from industrial 3d printing processes to production quality. Not as fashionable as LLMs at the moment but there's new innovations to make in the space, so it's honest work.

Lately I've been building Aho (https://aho.com) -- an API for verifying age, credentials, and identity using cryptographic proof from digital wallets instead of document inspection.

For context, I built out Playboy's age verification system, and watched as it hurt conversion (nobody wants to upload an ID to an adult website, who would have thought!). Cryptographic signatures from issuing authorities (DMVs, universities, employers, etc) with selective disclosure (e.g. you don't need to upload your full ID, just the fields that matter) is how verification _has_ to work going forward -- AI can fake documents, but not private keys.

I've been working on this 6 months full time, and implemented all the W3C VC, OpenID4VCI/VP, SD-JWT specifications myself.

Would love to get people's thoughts on it!
