Clumsily learning AI.

Every building down this river is something I made while figuring it out: software, AI tools and websites for real businesses. Follow it from dawn to dark.

Mostly software. Sometimes websites. Always one more project.

Websites for local businesses

I find businesses with great reviews and a weak website, build them a finished site from their real reviews and services, and mail a postcard that opens it. If they like it, they buy it and own it outright.

  • ~280finished demo sites built

AI School

My own training ground for working with AI agents: how to hand off real work, how to tell when it's actually done, and how to pick up tomorrow without explaining everything again.

Kronos

A paper trader built on the open-source Kronos forecasting model. Every hour it imagines 64 possible futures for Bitcoin. So far it has had the discipline not to bet on any of them.

  • 3practice accounts, $10,000 each
  • 64simulated futures an hour
  • 0trades, the signal isn't strong enough yet

Forecasting model: Kronos by shiyu-coder, open source.

The trading desk

Bots I built to trade prediction markets and forex. A Bitcoin five-minute bot, a copy trader that followed the sharpest wallets, a patient forex bot, and an arbitrage hunter. They taught me more than they earned, so they're parked.

  • 71,891contracts scanned for arbitrage
  • 0risk-free trades found
  • 4bots, all paused

STX staking for Ledger

Ledger owners can hold STX, but they can't put it to work without leaving the wallet. So I built a small app that runs inside Ledger Wallet: pick a pool, stake, and earn Bitcoin rewards. Your STX stays locked in your own address, and nothing changes unless you approve it on the device in your hand.

  • 4pools listed, each one's code read first
  • 4Ledger models passed in the emulator
  • 0fees taken by the app

An independent project, not affiliated with Ledger or Stacks. Not yet audited.
