Projects
Technology tools, model legislation, hardware prototypes, and AI systems — built in the open to make civic participation practical and accessible.
TVN Vault
AlphaAn encrypted local workspace — notes, databases, and double-entry accounting with SQLCipher encryption. No cloud, no telemetry. Your passphrase is the only key.
No Solos Alpha
AlphaA community raid boss game for conventions and events. Attendees scan a QR code, pick a hero class, and join the fight against OUTRAGE — an evil corpo AI boss on the big screen. Vanilla JavaScript, hand-drawn sprites, runs on a phone. The spectacle is the conversation starter; the mission is what comes after.
PTAA
Draft FrameworkThe Political Transparency and Accountability Act — a model legislative framework requiring real-time PAC donor disclosure, banning anonymous pass-through contributions, and establishing a Citizen Oversight Corps for public auditing of political finance.
SORS
ActiveThe Snow Operations Reporting System makes invisible labor visible through structured data collection. It documents snow removal work — conditions, time spent, equipment used — turning an undervalued job into a measurable, accountable record.
Sentry / Snow Stakes
PrototypeA hardware companion to SORS — physical markers and sensor systems that support snow operations reporting with real-world reference points for documentation and accountability.
Wayfinder
In DevelopmentAI-guided learning layers for open-source creative tools like Godot, GIMP, and Blender. Inspired by gaming overlays like Deadly Boss Mods — Wayfinder highlights the next action in real-time, gives context on why, and waits for the human to execute. Guided mastery, not automation.
Nimbus
In DevelopmentA civic literacy AI coach that translates complex policy, legislation, and government processes into accessible language. Built to be a research companion, not a replacement for critical thinking.
