A set of investigations into how agentic tooling reshapes solo-developer engineering. Each card below names an exploration thread and the project where I've built infrastructure to study it. The work is research-in-the-open: most projects are foundations for future work, not shipped products.
Bicameral agent architecture as a research interest: architect agents write durable decisions, builder agents execute them, and auditor agents verify compliance. An evolving practice worked out across the projects below.
Agentic Constitution
Forensic Observability
Role Separation
Building a unified Compile/Execute IR abstracting model generation paths across local and remote providers. Flux is a private research vehicle for reproducible workflow control, artifact lineage, and controlled regeneration.
Unified IR
Artifact Immutability
MPS Optimization
Split-brain architecture: deterministic WASM core handles the math, while personality profiles bias decisions to create human-like variance without LLM latency. Dicee is live family software and a concrete agentic-framework output.
Deterministic Core
Generative Layer
Brain Interface
Hardware-adjacent mobile work where lifecycle mistakes show up immediately in physical-device testing. ScopeCam is an alpha-stage Android app for USB microscope cameras — UVC integration, a vendored native stack, and a six-module architecture with ArchUnit guardrails and 1,790 tests.
WARM Gate Protocol
Two-Phase Commit
Native Integration
Operating a multi-node, zero-WAN-exposure network using OPNsense, Tailscale mesh VPN, and Infisical. The infrastructure provides a practical substrate for learning where credentials live, how traffic is routed, and how operational state drifts.
Bare-Metal OPNsense
Tailscale Mesh
Machine Identity
A cluster of projects built as foundations for future R&D — each probing a specific question about agent architecture, distributed coordination, or capability boundaries.
Foundation Layer
Research Practice
Open-Ended
Custom iframe framework for Blackboard Ultra, a LaTeX→Blackboard converter (hundreds of pages), and automated task schedulers. Pragmatic engineering against real pedagogical constraints.
