Projects
A look at what I've built since 2016 — from deep learning infrastructure and early generative AI through autonomous machines and voice agents.
Aug 2016GPU Data Center
Multi-GPU server build & GPU rental
- Built a 4× GTX 1080 deep learning server to allow others to train and run inference remotely.
- Virtualized the box with KVM/QEMU and VFIO passthrough so each GPU ran in its own VM with dedicated SSD storage.
- Rented the isolated GPU instances out to teams training deep learning models.
- Published the hardware build and the virtualization setup as public guides.
Sep 2016Crunchletter
AI-generated VC newsletter
- Built an RNN-based generative model that wrote a weekly venture-capital newsletter end to end.
- One of the earliest consumer-facing generative writing products, years before LLMs went mainstream.
- Covered by TechCrunch.
- Nov 2016
Self Driving Golf Cart
Autonomous vehicle prototype
- Converted a stock golf cart into a self-driving platform with drive-by-wire steering.
- Navigated autonomously with a deep learning model driving steering and speed decisions straight off camera input.
- Built the whole stack on commodity hardware, years before autonomy kits were off-the-shelf.
- Sep 2017
Robots for Construction — Framing
Robotic wall framing
- Built a robotic system that framed walls from architectural plans without manual layout.
- Started on residential timber framing, then transitioned to interior commercial wall framing.
- Ran end-to-end deep learning computer vision for picking, paired with an automated nailing and screw-setting system.
- Jun 2019
Automated Ghost Kitchens
Autonomous food production
- Automated food preparation and order fulfillment inside delivery-only kitchens.
- Built on servo motors and a gantry system, with computer vision running quality checks.
