Applied AI and model engineering
Four of these projects are one series, built step by step: The tic-tac-toe models, side by side.
-
Local Agent Lab
Portable AI workspace
A private AI workspace for chat, code, images, and audio that runs on local models, even offline, so conversations never have to leave your device.

-
Falken-9
A neural network designed for the Commodore 64
A mixture-of-experts tic-tac-toe model trained for the Commodore 64 from the start: a 5,195-byte model that stays in RAM and now lets Crystal Palace 9 play a complete AI-vs-AI game in just over a minute.
-
Crystal Palace 9
AI on 8-bit hardware
A Commodore 64 tic-tac-toe game whose AI moves come from a real neural network running in 6502 assembly; now powered by Falken-9, a complete AI-vs-AI game takes just over a minute.
-
Palace-9
Local model inspection
A playable tic-tac-toe lab that pairs a deterministic controller with a compact MoE model trained from scratch, and a browser inspector that reads the checkpoint locally.
-
Zogograph Client
AI-assisted server monitoring
PHP and SQLite collectors with a JavaScript dashboard make server telemetry, alerts, and diagnostics readable, and an AI assistant calls diagnostic tools and tracks what an investigation costs.
Embedded systems and hardware
-
sandbox-kernel
A small bare-metal kernel for your own OS
A small, reusable bare-metal kernel that starts on a Raspberry Pi Zero W and loads your own operating system as one user-mode program from the SD card.
-
Game-Maker OS
DOS Game-Maker games from the SD card, on a Pi Zero W
An operating system that turns a Raspberry Pi Zero W into a Game-Maker machine: it boots to a library of games on a TV and plays their original DOS files straight from the SD card.
-
Game-Maker Pocket
DOS games in your pocket on a cheap ESP32 touch screen
A pocket player for Game-Maker: Sandbox Edition games on cheap ESP32 touch-screen boards, with a web flasher that installs it from the browser.
-
Pocket Fleet
A co-op starship bridge simulator for browsers, CYDs and Cardputers
A starship bridge simulator for one player or a room full of people, where each person crews a station from a browser, a Cheap Yellow Display or an M5 Cardputer ADV over local Wi-Fi.

D64 Storage Lab
Repair and optimization
A browser workbench that maps Commodore 64 disk sectors and file chains, estimates read efficiency, repairs corruption, restores deleted files, and compares optimized and fragmented layouts.
-
