Navigating BAAs for HIPAA Compliance
A BAA is not a form you sign at the start of a healthcare build. It is the middle of a dependency graph: insurance, authority, internal controls, and subcontractor BAAs all have to line up first.

Building expo-agent-bridge: Giving AI Agents Eyes and Hands in React Native
AI agents can write mobile code but can't see the screen, check navigation state, or observe network traffic. I built an MCP server and Expo dev plugin that fixes that, including discovering that iOS Simulator has no tap API and working around it with AppleScript CGEvents.

I Built Helm Instead of Buying It. I'm Not Open-Sourcing It Either.
Someone sells a terminal workspace tool for around $100/yr. I built my own in an afternoon. I'm not putting it on GitHub, and that decision is the part of the build/buy story most people skip.

Testing and Debugging MCP Servers: Inspector, Integration Tests, and CI Patterns
The MCP SDKs show you how to build servers but say nothing about testing them. After shipping four servers and writing tests for all of them, here are the patterns that actually work.

What Are MCP Servers? The Developer's Guide to the Model Context Protocol
MCP is how AI agents talk to the outside world. This is the practitioner's guide: what the protocol actually does, how the pieces fit together, and what I've learned building and running MCP servers in production.

Building MCP Servers in Go: The Complete Guide
Every existing MCP tutorial gets you to a hello-world stdio server and stops. This is the rest of it: SDK choice, transports, testing, production patterns, and what I learned shipping four MCP servers that handle real workloads.

The Context Layer: Four Daemons That Replace Half of Claude Code's Tool Calls
Claude Code spends most of its time finding things, not doing things. I built four Go daemons that pre-compute code intelligence, database schemas, git history, and HTTP traffic, then serve it all in single-digit milliseconds over MCP.

Building Scry: An Agent-First Code Index That Replaces Read and Grep
Claude Code spends 30-50% of every session just finding code. I built a local daemon that pre-computes a semantic index of every repo and answers symbol queries in single-digit milliseconds.

Building Trawl: A Polite-By-Default Local Replacement for Firecrawl
A single Go binary for tiered web scraping, BFS crawling, schema extraction, and clean markdown. No API key, no recurring cost, polite by default, with opt-in stealth tiers for the sites that fight back.

11 Targets Through a 3D-Printed Telescope
Every image in this gallery was shot through a telescope I designed in Fusion 360 and printed in PET-CF. Here's what I pointed it at, what I learned, and what I'd reshoot.

Building a CRM Where the AI Isn't a Feature, It's the Architecture
We built internal agency tooling where the AI agent is the primary user, not the human. What agentic-first actually looks like when you're managing real client work.

Designing Telescopes for 3D Printing
I design and 3D print Newtonian astrographs for deep-sky astrophotography. A $60 Chinese mirror and a roll of PET-CF filament can produce images of the Horsehead Nebula. This is how.

Building Cockpit: A Terminal Dashboard for the Multi-Project Developer
I juggle a dozen projects across tmux sessions, git repos, and Obsidian tasks. Cockpit is a single TUI that shows me what's hot right now without leaving the terminal.

Forking gstack to Close the Plan-to-Execution Gap
Gary Tan's gstack gives Claude Code structured planning skills. Orch gives it parallel execution. I forked gstack to bridge the two, so a reviewed plan becomes running agents in one step.

Agency Engineering Leadership Changed When AI Got Good
Running engineering at a small agency means shipping 30+ client projects with a tiny team. AI didn't just speed things up. It changed which decisions matter.

Building Orch: A CLI Orchestrator for Multi-Agent Claude Code
How I built a thin coordination layer that lets multiple Claude Code instances work as a team, and the design decisions that made it work.

Multi-Agent AI Patterns That Actually Work
After months of running coordinated AI agents on real projects, here are the patterns that hold up and the ones that fall apart.
