Web TypeScript Real-time

A real-time collaborative outliner for small teams. One infinitely nested tree, tags that cut across hierarchy, WebSocket sync. No folders, no documents — just nodes.

Web AI Embeddings

A collective ideation platform where AI finds unexpected connections between thoughts. Embeddings evolve as discussions progress — the more a cluster is discussed, the more precise its semantic position becomes.

Python Local AI NLP

Self-hosted news synthesis. Scrapes RSS feeds, deduplicates with pgvector similarity, clusters stories with BERTopic, and generates grounded articles with inline citations using local Ollama models. No API keys required.

Vanilla JS Market Gardening

A mobile-first planning tool for commercial market gardeners. Backward-plan from harvest targets, model capacity in bed-weeks, sketch your garden on an interactive canvas map. Intentionally a single HTML file — field-notebook aesthetic.

Entropy's Defiance

Android Kotlin Jetpack Compose

A minimalist Android launcher and task manager. Tasks live across five time horizons — Today through This Life — and sync via Syncthing for seamless cross-device access.

CLI Python Ollama

Ask your terminal a question in plain language, get the exact command back. Runs entirely on local Ollama models — no telemetry, no API keys. Works on Arch, Ubuntu, and Fedora with Wayland and X11 support.


About

Austrian by origin, trained in environmental systems science — my grounding is in spatial analysis, QGIS, and understanding how landscapes work. Over time that grew into Python, full-stack development, and building the kind of tools the field doesn't yet have. I run Arch Linux and carry that philosophy forward: composable parts, minimal dependencies, things you actually own and understand.

I've always thought in systems. What changed is that I can now build them. I design the architecture; AI handles much of the execution. The purpose of the work stays mine.

Most of what I make is given away. If something here has been useful to you, a coffee keeps me at it.

Currently on the island of Lygra, Norway [on.lygra.no].
