🖥️
Developer Tooling
LocalVocal
Your own coding AI on 6 GB of VRAM — free, private, fully local
+
🔧 Problem Solved

Cloud coding assistants cost money every month and route your source code through someone else's servers. LocalVocal removes both barriers — a complete interactive guide to run a private, $0 AI coding assistant on a 6 GB NVIDIA laptop GPU in about fifteen minutes.

👥 Who It's For
  • Developers who want Copilot-style help without a subscription
  • Anyone with sensitive or proprietary code
  • People on modest GPUs (6–8 GB) who assume local AI is out of reach
  • Tinkerers who want to own their entire stack
🛠️ Tech Stack
OllamaQwen2.5-Coder:7bQwen2.5-Coder:1.5bnomic-embed-textContinue (VS Code)ClineGemini 2.5-FlashVanilla HTML
💡 Philosophy

Privacy by default and zero-cost by design. The single-file HTML delivery is itself a statement: no frameworks, no npm install, no cloud dependency. Local RAG with nomic-embed-text means cloud calls send a few hundred tokens, not whole files.

Hidden Details
  • Embedded VRAM budget visualizer shows GPU headroom in real time
  • Gemini panel pre-primed with your exact hardware context — off-script questions get grounded answers
  • Bridges the "AI is only for expensive hardware" perception gap
  • Doubles as a reusable template for any GPU target
📱
Digital Privacy
Know-ur-phone
Safeguard your phone from data leaks, ghost apps, and old app data
+
🔧 Problem Solved

Most users are unaware of ghost apps (uninstalled apps that leave residual data and permissions) and stale trackers still exposing personal information. A plain-English digital hygiene guide — raising awareness and directing action, without any server-side irony.

👥 Who It's For
  • Non-technical smartphone users who want to understand data exposure
  • Privacy-conscious users who suspect apps do more than they should
  • Parents and educators looking for digestible mobile hygiene resources
  • Anyone who uninstalled an app but never thought about leftover data
🛠️ Tech Stack
HTML5CSS3Vanilla JSGitHub PagesGoogle FormsFormspree
💡 Philosophy

Education before action. The site is deliberately static with no server-side tracking — no analytics backdoor, no irony. The modular form provider approach demonstrates progressive enhancement: start free, swap providers as needs grow.

Hidden Details
  • Ghost app prevention is an underexplored consumer problem — first-mover awareness value
  • Designed to double as a lead-gen funnel — product thinking in an educational wrapper
  • Natural companion to AuditAd: Know-ur-phone educates, AuditAd acts
  • Practices what it preaches: static site with no tracking teaches privacy without hypocrisy
🛡️
Mobile Privacy
AuditAd
Local DNS threat optimizer and privacy audit utility for Android
+
🔧 Problem Solved

Android apps engage in a hidden economy of cross-app profiling and background data harvesting. Existing solutions route traffic through third-party VPN servers (a new privacy risk) or require root access. AuditAd uses a local DNS loopback on Port 53 — entirely on-device, nothing sent externally.

👥 Who It's For
  • Privacy-conscious Android users wanting visibility into app telemetry
  • Security researchers and mobile developers auditing permissions
  • Developers who want to audit their own manifest before publishing
  • Users who want to neutralise cross-app profiling without rooting
🛠️ Tech Stack
React 19TypeScriptViteTailwind CSSCapacitor 6Java (native plugin)Gemini APIBloom FilterVercel
💡 Philosophy

Zero-knowledge, on-device. The Bloom Filter checks 150,000+ domains in sub-millisecond time, entirely in-kernel. "Trust but verify" becomes "verify, then trust." The interactive Bloom Filter Playground is a transparency mechanism that shows users exactly how the matching engine works.

Hidden Details
  • Bloom Filter Playground: interactive CS education inside a consumer privacy app — tune m, n, k parameters and see real false-positive probabilities
  • 64-bit memory grid visualises how trackers "flip bits" — abstract algorithm made visceral
  • Package Auditor with Gemini AI risk scoring — developer feature tucked inside a consumer app
  • Most technically ambitious: Capacitor Java bridge, custom AppCheckPlugin, Bloom Filter, and Gemini AI all in concert
🧠
AI Productivity
PromptOS
An app to define prompts as skills, rules, and boundaries
+
🔧 Problem Solved

AI prompts are treated as throwaway one-liners rather than reusable professional assets. Without structure, teams rewrite the same prompts from scratch, get inconsistent AI behaviour, and lose institutional knowledge. PromptOS frames prompts as structured artefacts: skills, rules, and boundaries — versioned in a repo.

👥 Who It's For
  • Developers and AI engineers who want to manage prompts as code
  • Teams building LLM-powered products needing consistent AI behaviour
  • Prompt engineers tired of reinventing the wheel each project
  • Agent builders who want a structured skill/boundary framework
🛠️ Tech Stack
VS Code Workspace.ai/ folder conventionModel-agnosticFile-system native
💡 Philosophy

Prompts as first-class software artefacts. The skills/rules/boundaries taxonomy mirrors AI alignment thinking — capabilities, constraints, guardrails. Encoded in files in a repo, it fits any workflow without a new platform. "If it lives in your repo, it lives in your workflow."

Hidden Details
  • The .ai/ folder convention is an elegant, unopinionated primitive — any editor, CI, or LLM can consume it
  • The taxonomy maps directly to how modern LLM system prompts work — drew from AI safety alignment thinking
  • Earliest repo chronologically — the philosophical seed that spawned every other project
  • Significant potential as a VS Code extension or CLI tool — groundwork already there
✍️
AI Content Creation
MegaMind Content Studio
Local-first AI studio — turn rough ideas into polished posts
+
🔧 Problem Solved

Most AI writing tools are cloud-dependent, per-token-billed, and treat content generation as a single-shot prompt. MegaMind is built around a production pipeline: research, draft, reformat for a specific platform, export — entirely local, two modes: interactive Electron UI or headless folder-watcher service.

👥 Who It's For
  • Content creators, LinkedIn influencers, and solopreneurs with high content volume
  • Developers who want a local AI writing pipeline without per-token costs
  • Storytellers and comic-narrative creators (first-class use case)
  • Windows power users who prefer folder-based automation over SaaS dashboards
🛠️ Tech Stack
Electron 37FastAPI (Python)Ollamastoryteller modelPython workerBatch scripts.env config
💡 Philosophy

Content creation as a production process, not a conversation. Clean split between generation and formatting stages — separation of concerns, explicit API contracts (FastAPI schemas), observable state. The folder-service contract echoes Unix pipe philosophy: drop a job in, pick up a finished artefact.

Hidden Details
  • Dual-mode architecture respects two very different human workflows: creative (UI) and automated (headless)
  • The 'storyteller' default model and comic-style job examples reveal a creative writing ambition beyond business content
  • worthifyme.com domain suggests a larger brand vision — the studio is an engine for a broader creator economy play
  • Most production-ready: published release v1, CHECKSUMS.txt, proper release notes — mature distribution thinking
  • Folder-service contract mirrors enterprise ETL pipeline patterns — Pentaho/PDI thinking leaking into indie software
Cross-Portfolio Analysis

Unifying Themes

Five projects, one worldview. Every project either removes a cloud dependency, adds transparency to a hidden process, or returns control to the person running the software.

🔒
Privacy as First-Class Feature

Three of five projects (Know-ur-phone, AuditAd, LocalVocal) are directly concerned with data privacy. Not a coincidence — a deep conviction about digital sovereignty. AuditAd is the most ambitious technical expression; Know-ur-phone shows the creator also thinks about non-technical users who need education, not just tooling.

🏠
Local-First AI

LocalVocal and MegaMind Content Studio both run entirely on local Ollama models. PromptOS is model-agnostic but file-system-native. A clear preference for on-device inference over cloud APIs — subscription-free, API-bill-free, perpetually yours.

📄
Single-File HTML as Delivery Primitive

LocalVocal and Know-ur-phone both deliver as single-page static HTML. Maximum portability, zero dependencies, open-on-disk. This engineering aesthetic echoes the Unix philosophy: simple, composable, self-contained tools that work without installation.

🌱
PromptOS as the Philosophical Parent

The earliest repo in the portfolio by commit history. The skills/rules/boundaries taxonomy in PromptOS likely predates and seeds every other project — it's the abstract model that LocalVocal, AuditAd, and MegaMind are concrete implementations of.

🔄
Enterprise Patterns in Indie Software

MegaMind's folder-service contract mirrors Pentaho/PDI ETL pipeline patterns. AuditAd's Bloom Filter is database-index thinking applied to consumer privacy. Enterprise pattern transfer into personal projects — professional experience compressed into weekend code.

📈
Progressive Maturity

Concept scaffold (PromptOS) → educational landing page (Know-ur-phone) → interactive guide (LocalVocal) → full PWA + native app (AuditAd) → released desktop product with checksums and release notes (MegaMind). Each project more production-ready than the last.
