Dispatches
Field notes from the platform.
The Line
Karmen Playground
Construction scheduling assistant with LLM-powered timeline parsing and Monte Carlo risk analysis. Demo built for YC startup Karmen AI. The GPU backend is scale-to-zero to avoid idle billing, so ping me to wake it up.
SocialWeb
Your social graph as memory. Drop a thought ("coffee with Sarah and Mike, talked about climbing"), Claude Haiku extracts the people, and a d3-force visualization grows. Everything persists in SQLite, locally, on your machine.
QuantForge
Trading strategy stress-tester. Describe a strategy in plain English; a six-agent AI pipeline parses it, imagines 200 synthetic market histories, and tells you whether your edge is real or just survivorship bias. Dashboard surfaces return, drawdown, Sharpe, and a narrated AI verdict.
HackRadar
Daily AI scraper that surfaces the best emerging hackathon ideas. A cron hits 25 sources, Gemini scores each one, and a top-15 digest lands in your inbox at 6 AM. V2 makes it interactive: rerun with a focus, ask follow-ups, catch broken scrapers.
NeuroDesign
Neuroscience-backed A/B testing for designers. Upload two images, see how the human brain actually responds to each, and get AI recommendations grounded in real fMRI data instead of guesswork. V2 is a ground-up rewrite with multimodal AI and a neuroscience RAG advisor.
GridPulse
Real-time battery dispatch command center for the Austin grid. Forecasts neighborhood demand spikes around UT sports events and tells Base Power's 4,200 batteries exactly when and where to discharge. Backed by live ERCOT pricing and AI operator briefs.
FlightSense
Decentralized flight-delay prediction markets on Solana. Traders stake SOL on YES/NO outcomes using an ML disruption model. Targets the $33B annual flight-delay problem.
SplitPay Escrow
Decentralized escrow dApp for freelance work. Automatic multi-party payment splits and deadline-based refunds. Mainly built to learn Solidity end-to-end; the freelance-payments problem was the excuse.
Mp3 Player
Native Android audio player that demonstrates TypeScript-to-Java bridging via React Native's Native Modules API. The audio player is the excuse; the bridge is the point. Built bare-workflow (no Expo) so the native module pattern actually applies.
Orbit
Bluetooth-powered event networking app for UT students and recruiters at career fairs. Proximity-based discovery, an animated orbit visualization, and a real-time Firebase backend. Built for Texas Convergent Demo Day 2025.
