I am still working on Java bindings for io_uring https://github.com/davidtos/JUring

The goal is to bring fast random read/writes to Java. Fun project with lots of great challenges around performance while maintaining a nice API.

A team of researchers and I are building a data visualization tool to help understand the impact of proposed NIH cuts:

Pretty fun to see how easy it is to put together a decent website on a shoestring budget (R2 hosting, all react frontend)

Writing prose instead of code. Started a Ghost powered newsletter mainly focusing on AI and retro computing. Aiming to be a lightweight general read, not heavy technical stuff. Had a bit of success with a couple of articles posted to HN before.

Working on a work distribution network for medium to large size organizations. Some unique design and architectural decisions allow for ease of use and ease of scale. It has legs and I think a real shot at competing with applications like Workday, Asana, and Gloat. I’m planning on going full-time with it next week!

I'm working on revitalizing a FPGA DSP from my first failed startup. It's a RISC-V processor with a vector machine glued onto the side. It's capable of 30 second rapid testing of new algorithms which normally takes hours in FPGA land. Looking for a clear way to describe this novel approach to DSP.

Speech MCP Server - uses Kokoro TTS under the hood to give your LLM the ability to speak. I use it to have Cursor agents notify me when long running tasks are complete.

Working on writing my first novel after years of (part time) planning. I’m finding it difficult to do the actual writing, but trying to stick with it. I don’t naturally enjoy the writing process vs writing code, which has been my primary endeavor for 20 years. Advice from other engineer/writers appreciated.

Still writing a Dev Runbook for my canvas library. I forgot how much of a monster it's become over the years ... https://github.com/KaliedaRik/Scrawl-canvas/pull/119

Bundless.dev - A non-intrusive 35kb client side react compiler

Easyjobapps.com - autofill job forms with tailored resumes and replies.

Working on ARC-AGI (2). Trying a few different approaches including gradient descent mechanisms to construct programs in DSLs. Was really inspired by the recent differentiable logic gate networks work from Google, and believe there is a way to adapt it to generate programs instead of cellular automata rules.
