// things I've built
Prototypes and tools I've built, most of them with AI as a collaborator. Some are live, some are still on the workbench, and the build log below keeps track of what's changing.
A classroom AI stack you can see through.
Simulate, synthesize, and program an FPGA from a browser tab.
An event agenda that recalculates itself when plans change.
A group scheduling poll that an AI agent can run for you.
A self-hosted, API-first service for event invitations and responses.
From a spreadsheet to personalized emails in five minutes.
Plan your day in time blocks, and re-plan when it changes.
Nothing here is ready to use yet. These are still on the workbench.

Short updates as projects ship, change, or get set down. Longer reflections go to the newsletter. Follow along with the RSS feed.
Building is how I think, and lately a lot of that building has been with AI as a collaborator. This page is where those projects live: tools for my classroom, for gathering people, and for my own day-to-day. Some are live, some are prototypes, and a few will probably end up on the shelf.
I’ll post short notes here as things change. Longer reflections will still show up in The Absent-Minded Professor.
Run of Show now has a REST API and an MCP server, so Claude can read, create, and edit agendas on my behalf, with access granted per user through OAuth. The same day, it gained pinned times: lock an item to a clock time and mark others as flexible, and they stretch or shrink to fit around it.
You can now connect Time-Block Planner to Claude as a custom connector. An assistant can read your day and week, add tasks, and schedule blocks, and its edits follow the same rules as the app: they go to the current plan, never to earlier ones, and calendar meetings stay put. Sync also got smarter, merging edits from different devices instead of letting the newest copy win.
Jacquard started as a simulator. As of today it also does synthesis, pin assignment, and programming, so students can go from SystemVerilog in a browser tab to a design running on their iCE40 board over WebUSB, without installing a vendor toolchain.
My classroom AI stack now has a name and a shape: Glassroom. Any instructor can self-host it or deploy it in one click, and a dashboard lets them set the course’s models, instructions, and limits.
SendView now ships as a macOS desktop app, with release builds published from CI and updates that install themselves.
