What I'm building now
code-viewer
MVP complete
Desktop VS Code stays the source of truth — LSP, Git, Copilot all stream through one relay to any browser. Cache-first so it works offline. CodeTour recordings happen live over WebSocket.
notebooklm-controller
MVP in daily use
Puppeteer hangs on background tabs — dropped it for raw CDP. One Chrome, multiple tabs, all automated without focus. Any AI tool (Claude Code, Copilot) can drive NotebookLM through the MCP interface. Feeds repos, URLs, and PDFs as chunked sources.
ChatPilot
Production gateway
Routes multiple operators to specialized chatbots by weighted scoring. Same interaction triggers sync reply + background task — results push back when done. Built-in silent analytics on group conversations.

Developer Tooling
Tools I built because nothing else worked
Code browsing that survived mobile, NotebookLM automation via CDP + MCP, and an agent gateway redesigned from a failed v1.
Developer Tooling
code-viewer
MVP completeTried code-server for mobile code browsing — broke. Redesigned as a 3-layer system: VS Code Extension streams workspace data over WebSocket to a React frontend with IndexedDB cache-first and live CodeTour recording.

Browser Automation + MCP
notebooklm-controller
MVP in daily useNotebookLM has no API — so I built one. Always-on daemon that automates NotebookLM through low-level CDP and exposes an MCP interface. 95% deterministic scripts, LLM only for failure recovery.

Agent Gateway
ChatPilot
Production gatewayMulti-platform agent gateway — v1 failed, rebuilt the full architecture in one sitting. Hub + router + pipeline design that made observer mode, dual-mode dispatch, and 25 tools a natural extension.

Production Systems
Automation already running in daily ops
Social publishing, media pipelines, warehouse ops — agent orchestration with human-in-the-loop review and platform API integrations.
Media Workflow
shotflow
Active systemMedia pipeline that turns raw footage into searchable, reusable assets with semi-automated editing output.
Asset tagging, retrieval, semi-automated cuts — editing work compounds over time.
Warehouse Operations
Warehouse Assistant
In productionLLM-powered warehouse assistant — natural-language inventory queries, replenishment checks, automated reporting via LINE.
NL queries, structured ops data, proactive report push, AI-assisted form handling.
Social Operations
Social Ops System
Usable systemAgent-orchestrated social workflow — draft generation, multi-platform publishing, monitoring, assisted replies with human-in-the-loop.
LLM drafting, intent classification, review queue, platform API integration.
