Projects, experiments & side quests

Things I’ve been making.

Some are useful, some are weird, most started because I wanted to understand how something worked.

Verified production exampleAgents & automation

Automated Social & Brand Content Engine

Pinned repository evidence into finished video: proof assets, narration, audiovisual QA and publication readback. Watch a completed example.

Technical details
  • Source-grounded production links each claim to a pinned repository revision, source files and bounded verification—not generic AI commentary.
  • Exact narration checks, rendered-frame and audio inspection, metadata gates and publication readback stay separate; a finished render is not a published post.
  • Completed example: an 18.3-second Cline v4.1.13 Short, grounded in commit 68ad354b52e8 and 33 independent static checks. Cline itself was not executed.
  • The final video matched its QA and publication receipts. YouTube publication and source-comment readback were verified on 23 August 2026; the portfolio hosts the verified production file.

Scope: Research → pinned source → proof assets → narration and video → audiovisual QA → publication and readback receipts. LinkedIn and other channel workflows remain separate operating lanes.

A bit more context

Some of the work behind the projects

Three stories about operations, people and agents—not a scoreboard.

01

Business systems

Making work flow
AEH AI-enabled operating layer

CRM, field service, finance and staff workflows connected with evidence and controls

Problem

CRM intake, customer communication, field-service jobs, finance actions, reporting and compliance were distributed across brands and tools.

System

Pipedrive, simPRO, Microsoft Graph, n8n, Cloud Run, council imports, call logging, job reconciliation, sales planning, dashboards and role-specific tools.

Decision

Automate low-risk repeatable work while preserving named human approval, receipts, exception reporting and fail-closed boundaries.

Ownership

Discovery through implementation, deployment, observability, governance, adoption, documentation and operator handover.

Impact

Less double-handling, clearer ownership, faster follow-up and better exception visibility. The useful part is not activity volume; it is helping people see what needs attention and move work cleanly between systems.

Read the work story
02

Knowledge operations

People + process
Scale + adoption

Knowledge and support operations at national frontline scale

Problem

Duplicated processes, support load and search friction across a large frontline audience.

System

Process redesign, knowledge maintenance, content removal/rewrite, training, communications and reporting.

Decision

Treat documentation quality, ownership, staff adoption and measurement as one operating loop.

Ownership

Operational analysis, process intervention, rollout support and performance visibility.

Impact

Cleaner processes, easier-to-find answers, fewer avoidable support loops and changes that made sense to frontline teams.

Read the work story
03

Agent operations

Agents that behave
Orchestration + control

Visible, permissioned multi-agent and model-routing operations

Problem

Agents, models, accounts and machines create invisible work, auth uncertainty, duplicated context and permission risk.

System

Hermes, Codex/APIs, Claude, local LLM routing, shared state, schedules, watchdogs, usage tracking and operator receipts.

Decision

Route by capability, privacy, latency and cost; fail closed for public, financial and destructive actions.

Ownership

Architecture, implementation, safety model, acceptance tests, runtime monitoring and recovery paths.

Impact

Less invisible automation, clearer handoffs, safer boundaries, and a better chance of knowing whether the agent actually finished the job.
