WhatsYum - https://whatsyum.com

Ratings per dish instead of just the restaurant as a whole. 4 years in and working on a b2b intelligence offering for restaurants. b2c side has been too hard to get off the ground without solid investment and I've been unable to secure that.

Thoughts welcome :)

I have been working on two opensource tools:

https://dhuan.github.io/mock/latest/examples.html Command line utility that lets you build APIs with just one command.

https://github.com/dhuan/dop JSON/YAML manipulation with AWK style approach.

Better GitHub insights: https://temporiohq.com - still new and there’s a lot of question about how to adapt to the age of accelerated software engineering.

My art with pen plotters. Recently released a new series of brush plots. Very inspired by Soulages: https://harmonique.one/collections/brush-plots

Building https://www.townhall-tracker.ca to help me and other Canadians keep tabs on their city council.

I moved to a new city 4 years ago and didn't even realize a municipal election was happening until a councillor knocked on my door.

I am building townhall-tracker to prevent this and shape the decisions that most affect my day-to-day

Validity is currently free to use

If anyone wants to try blunders, I can send a coupon code along.

We are working on DBConvert Streams:

https://streams.dbconvert.com

A self-hosted database IDE with built-in migration, CDC, and DuckDB-powered federated SQL.

Mostly trying to remove the annoying gap between "I can inspect this database" and "I can safely move/sync this data somewhere else".

Current focus: resumable large loads and cleaner initial-load-to-CDC handoff for Postgres/MySQL.

A model framework for an in house suite of models.

From dataset harvest, to training intricacies on CUDA/ROCm to fun HIP kernels. Full circle to inference testing, building it around consumer hardware(the challenge). Using this as a "how it works" deep dive, allowing me to learn more about the how, more than endless papers will. It's a MoE and I'm slowly running a human loop, research, build, correct, research.

I am working on a research institute for East Africa, https://maiyoinstitute.org/. I want to tackle the dire lack of environmental data, by using 1. low cost hardware 2. Artificial Intelligence 3. Long term horizon. The problem set is huge, but I am focusing on low cost sensors for Air and Water data collection plus bioacoustics for now.

A civilization clone, but going way deeper than is reasonable (inspired by dwarf fortress). I'm currently building the geophysics simulation that will allow for realistic terrain generation, powered by actual mantle convection and plate tectonics. Once this is finished, then an actual per-cell atmospheric and oceanic model. This should keep me entertained for at least a year, at which point I can start working on the actual gameplay part of things.
