AI dropped the cost of writing software far enough that it's now worth building a thing just to solve a single person's problem. So that's what I do here. Every repo on this profile started as "I wish something did this for me." Some of my friends and family benefit from them too.
Most of the code is AI-written but I architect the apps and read the code, because I believe that's how it should be done, and it's fun.
Most of it traces back to a few things about my life: I fly gliders, live in Melbourne, love my wife, and she loves plants.
🛩️ instructa-mate A co-pilot for gliding instructors that answers only from the official training manuals, cites the exact page, and refuses when the answer isn't in them. I'm a gliding instructor; an invented procedure is a safety failure, so "not covered in the guides I have" had to be a first-class answer.
🌱 plant-scanner An offline-first Android app for the Royal Botanic Gardens volunteer nursery. Built with accessibility in mind (big buttons, big text) and built to never lose a sale, with every decision that's easy to get wrong unit-tested off-device.
☕ english-breakfast A Telegram bot my wife and I use to study English. One Cloudflare Worker: the translation direction is detected deterministically and unit-tested; the LLM only does the part it's actually good at.
🌦️ burevestnik Posts Melbourne's forecast to Telegram twice a day. A pure, tested core with the side effects pushed out to the edges, flapping along on a GitHub Actions cron. (буревестник: "stormy petrel".)
🍃 quarkus-mongodb
Quarkus extensions for MongoDB. I authored and maintain the flyway-mongodb extension, a simple way to keep a production MongoDB schema versioned in your repo and the database up to date.
