◆ projects

Ankaa code
Real-time monitoring and alerting for at-home hemodialysis — catches critical events like severe hypotension and blood loss and pages caregivers. Built for NxStage setups with Phoenix LiveView and a Rust sensor layer.
Fine Shyt↗ live code
Photo-curation AI that learns your eye: each shot gets a CLIP embedding and a Ridge-regression probe trained on your star ratings, so the match score drifts toward what you actually like. Real-time gallery over a TB of RAWs.
Luminosity↗ live code
Local-first reflective journal that traces friction back to unmet needs, value conflicts, and behavior patterns. No accounts, no telemetry — localStorage is the source of truth, with an optional Bun + SQLite backup sidecar.
prosemirror-pretext code
A canvas-based text editor: ProseMirror's document model + Pretext's pure-arithmetic layout, every glyph drawn with ctx.fillText — no contenteditable. Caret and coordinate reads stay flat where DOM editors pay a reflow tax.
libraw code
Elixir library for native camera RAW decoding on the BEAM — a Rustler (Rust) NIF wrapping libraw. The decode layer under the photo pipeline.
memento_mori code
A digital time capsule: leave messages for the people you love, unlocked exactly when the time is right.
