Building a Home Edge Network

A distributed computing environment built from repurposed hardware including old Optiplexes, Raspberry Pis, and Mac Minis. Currently running media servers, NAS, Ollama AI server, and more. Future plans include low-power HPC, multiple AI models, Kubernetes orchestration, and home automation.

AltFantasy Sports

A fantasy sports platform for alternative leagues not supported by major sites. Started in 2019 for the Alliance of American Football, now supports spring gridiron, indoor football, CFL, lacrosse, women's basketball, and more. Features season-long and daily fantasy games with a mobile app launching in 2026.

Aquifer-Scale Groundwater Storage Anomalies from GRACE

An interactive ArcGIS dashboard for exploring groundwater storage anomalies from 2002–2025. Built as part of a University of Memphis research project that uses random-forest modeling to downscale GRACE satellite data to aquifer scales, validated with well-log data clustered by hydrogeologic similarity.

Auxlee: Open Source Remote Music Collaboration

A DAW plug-in for seamless remote music collaboration that automatically transfers audio and midi files between collaborators. Started years ago and recently dusted off to go open source. No more conflicted copies, misaligned stems, or file management headaches—just install the plug-in and start making music together.

SmartSlurm VSCode Extension

A VSCode extension that uses AI (ChatGPT) to automatically generate Slurm parameters for HPC bash scripts. Analyzes your bash scripts and predicts optimal Slurm parameters such as memory, time, and CPUs. Save time, avoid guesswork, and ensure efficient resource allocation on high-performance computing clusters.

Swatch

An in-development suite of developer tools for bioinformatics pipelines and Slurm notifications. Designed to streamline HPC workflow management and provide better visibility into computational jobs running on high-performance computing clusters.

Grind City Coffee Throwdown

In 2024, I whipped up a quick web app to support a local coffee competition in Memphis. Users could scan a QR code on their phone and vote in each head-to-head showdown in the single elimination bracket competition. Results were displayed on a screen in the front.
