“Breathing New Life into Old Tech”
I build offline-first AI systems, retro-modern hardware, and practical restorations that stay grounded in real tools, real constraints, and real obtainable materials.
This site follows Huey, the Monkey-Head-Project, and the lab work around them — the builds, the writeups, the experiments, and the longer thread of trying to make serious systems from parts and ideas that can actually be reached.
Huey
Huey is my offline-first AI and robotics project: a lab partner meant to help think through problems, preserve continuity, and gradually grow into a more complete embodied system.
The active proof body is Huey Core. It is the smallest real machine that still carries the project’s identity, hardware direction, and long-term architectural intent in one place.
Monkey-Head-Project
The Monkey-Head-Project is the umbrella term for the full build history around Huey: hardware, software, documentation, experiments, continuity, and the longer thesis behind them.
The name is literal. The monkey head never stopped mattering. It is the symbolic and physical thread that kept the body plan, the identity, and the project lineage tied together as the architecture changed.
PlayStation Ultimate
A backwards-compatible PlayStation build aimed at solving the compatibility gap Sony never fully closed.
Open
Dirty Leroy
The prototype virtual pinball cabinet: fast, functional, and built to prove the cabinet and display approach.
Open
The Executive
The cleaner cabinet path that follows the prototype, with a more deliberate finish and presentation.
Open
Docs
The README, master plan, constitution, and supporting downloads that keep the project current and coherent.
Open
Research
Working notes on hierarchy, storage, safety, bifurcation, and the deeper system logic behind Huey.

The Playlist
A denser record of music, sequencing, exports, and mood — the part of the lab that stays intentionally human.
