Mechanics Sidekick
An agentic diagnostic assistant. Stream live OBD-II data from the car, then let an LLM pull trouble codes, ground them in service manuals, and surface recalls — chaining tools in one chat, every answer cited.

I build software. Distributed systems, ML pipelines, embedded firmware — usually because I wanted the thing to exist.

About
I'm a software developer based in Alberta, Canada. I work across the stack: distributed backends, machine-learning and retrieval pipelines, and bare-metal embedded firmware. I'm happiest on problems that cross those boundaries.
The projects below are all things I wanted to exist and then built end to end: ASP.NET Core and Python services, local and hosted LLM pipelines, a thirteen-process auction-hunting system, embedded C on an 8-bit microcontroller. What they have in common is that they don't hide their limits: pipeline stages are explicit, failure modes are visible, and I can explain every design decision I made.
