Hosted here · one clip
An M5Stack Tab5 with its back off, ESP32-P4 and the COM.X module in view, then flipped over and running a chat terminal against a local model. Persona set to Hermes, message archive on the bottom bar.

18 recordings · 2020-2026Nineteen builds, on tape.
Recordings of things actually running. No slides, no narration over a mockup. The oldest is a 2020 screen capture, the newest were shot on a phone at the bench in 2026 and are hosted here. Each one plays on its own page, with a note on what is on screen and, where it came off YouTube, the title YouTube still has on it.
The bench, 2026
Phone recordings, hosted here, nothing loads from YouTube. A power supply that answers to a voice, a chat terminal on an ESP32 tablet, a rhythm game, and a Game Boy cartridge rewritten so you catch my models instead of Pokémon.

A bench supply that answers to a voice
Hosted here · one clip
An iPad app under the Celaya Solutions Research mark drives a bench power supply by voice. The prompt on screen is 'How many amps?' A Fluke 177 sits on the output leads so the answer can be checked against the meter.

Ghost Notes
Hosted here · one clip
A rhythm game with six pads on an arc and the lyric rolling under them. Forty-seven seconds cut like a music video: a rider in the passenger seat plays the pads on a phone while the track runs.

Pokémon Red, but you catch my models
Hosted here · 2 clips
Pokémon Red with the roster swapped out. The creatures in the tall grass are the Applied Intelligence agents from my own collection, and the storage PC holds the ones you have caught. Two emulator captures, overworld and box.
Watch →Applied intelligence, 2023 to 2024
Chat platforms, generative imaging, a mock interviewer that grades you back, and a training run left uncut. What I was building while the models got good.

A chat platform, top to bottom
YouTube · AI Chatbot Platform
The longest recording here. Fourteen minutes walking a chat platform end to end, from the interface a user sees down to the wiring underneath it.

Hopekeeper, a chatbot for people inside
YouTube · "Hopekeeper" Demo - AI Chatbot for prison inmates
A chatbot built for people serving time. Still a prototype, still carrying bugs, and it does the job it was built for. The name is the whole design brief.

Image generation, wired as a graph
YouTube · Generative AI Imaging Demo using ComfyUI
Building an image pipeline in ComfyUI, where every step is a node you can see and rewire. The graph is the point. Nothing happens off screen.

It listens, it looks, it answers
YouTube · LLM Multimodal Voice Image Assistant
An assistant taking voice and images in the same turn. The notebook behind it is public: the video description links the gist.

Moonlight Sorting
YouTube · Moonlight Sorting
Five minutes of a reinforcement learning agent training on a sorting task, built the way the Unity ML-Agents examples are built. The agent is not told the rule. It finds it by repetition.

A training run on Snake, at full length
YouTube · Training the game Snake
Twenty-six minutes of a model learning to play Snake, with nothing cut. The middle is the useful part, where it is still getting it wrong.
Watch →5:18
The interviewer that grades you back
YouTube · AI Mock Interviewer
A mock technical interview run by a model. It asks about hash tables, hears a wrong answer, and writes the feedback explaining exactly where the answer went wrong.

A paid ChatGPT clone, billing and all
YouTube · Building an ChatGPT Subscription Service Clone
Not the chat window, the business around it. Accounts, a subscription, and the gate between a visitor and a paying user. Seven weeks after ChatGPT shipped.
Watch →Web3 and infrastructure, 2022
Two from 2022, when the open question was who owns a name and whether an action inside a game could settle against a real balance outside it.
1:33
Owning the name, not renting it
YouTube · Top level domain name service
A naming service where the record belongs to the holder instead of a registrar. The description links the talk making the same argument, under a one line note: guess I am ahead.

A wallet inside the game
YouTube · Connecting video games to the real world with Metamask
Thirty-one seconds wiring a crypto wallet into a game client, so an action inside the game settles against a real balance outside it.
Watch →VR, games, and teardowns, 2020 to 2022
Where the timing work started. VR maps, the tooling to cut them faster, and one short teardown of a login flow.

A map, cut to the track
YouTube · Sample Beat Saber Map
Forty-three seconds of a Beat Saber map built to a Geoxor track. Charting is timing work: where the block lands is the whole craft.

Twenty-one seconds inside a login flow
YouTube · Old school Facebook hack with 2FA bypass
A dated account recovery weakness, shown start to finish. Kept in the record because knowing how a login flow fails is how you learn to build one that does not.
Watch →1:46
A better way to enter a pattern
YouTube · A custom mod idea for the VR game Beat Saber
A mod so mappers can enter blocks and patterns faster than a mouse and keyboard allows. The input device is the whole idea.
Watch →4:33
Beat Saber, State of Mind
YouTube · Beat Saber -Terminite, State of Mind
A full run through a map cut to a Terminite track. The oldest thing on this page.
Watch →If something here is close to the thing you need built, describe it in three sentences and I will tell you plainly whether it fits.
