SpeakChatBot

Eleven million chat messages a month, read aloud

A real-time text-to-speech platform for Twitch, YouTube, and Kick streamers — run solo since 2016, and the modern continuation of the CHI-2019-cited TranscriberBot. At peak it pushed 11 million chat messages a month. It's now a ground-up TypeScript rewrite: a domain-driven backend of 28 lint-enforced modules, capability-based RBAC, a typed WebSocket protocol, MySQL on Atlas-versioned migrations, and a plugin SDK + marketplace — two React 19 surfaces in front, ~5,000 Vitest/Playwright tests and a canary release pipeline behind.

Reverse Engineering

BM64 Decompilation

Bomberman 64, function by function

A reverse-engineering mission that decompiles Bomberman 64 and statically recompiles it to native code, with a frame-exact gameplay tracing and savestate suite built on top. Across 15+ documented sessions I've named 361 functions of the game's combat, AI, and physics — out of 74,447 recompiled — and built the F5–F10 tracing tools that make that analysis possible.

GPU · Systems

Silky

60fps in, 240fps out — never leaving the GPU

A video frame-interpolation pipeline that decodes with NVDEC, runs a TensorRT-optimized RIFE optical-flow network, and re-encodes with NVENC — with frames staying in VRAM the entire way, no host round-trips. I wrote the orchestration, the NVRTC-compiled colour-space kernels, and the wrapper interfaces; it targets 120 / 144 / 240fps from 60fps source in FP16 or FP32.

VirtualMK

A keyboard and mouse that don't physically exist

A Windows kernel-mode HID driver that presents a virtual 6-key-rollover keyboard and a 5-button mouse, paired with a Node.js native addon so user-space code can drive them over a shared device interface. Built on KMDF and the Virtual HID Framework, with custom HID report descriptors and a full PowerShell build / signing / install toolchain.

mclinode

A Minecraft server with a control plane

A Minecraft Fabric server provisioner and admin control plane on Linode: a Fastify daemon, a React admin SPA, and an Electron desktop client speaking one WebSocket protocol — plus a stack of in-house mods and a hand-port of Alex's Mobs and Citadel from NeoForge 1.21.1 to Fabric 1.21.11 (80+ creatures, items, and blocks; upstream authors credited under LGPL).

Real-Time Audio

PSTN → Discord Bridge

Phone calls, routed into a voice channel

A real-time bridge that routes inbound Twilio phone calls into Discord voice channels, transcoding audio live between G.711 µ-law at 8kHz and Opus at 48kHz, with a FIFO agent queue, ElevenLabs hold announcements, and live speech-to-text captions. Hand-written codec conversion and resampling; deployed to a hardened Linode box with TLS.

Transcriber Studio

Local + cloud transcription, end to end

An Electron transcription workstation that auto-imports from DJI wireless mics, transcribes in real time with whisper.cpp and in batch with WhisperX on a local GPU or a serverless AWS GPU backend, analyses with GPT-4o, shares over LAN, and exports to PDF. A task-token pull model keeps the cloud side cheap by avoiding idle GPU and NAT costs.

Full-Stack Management Platform

RBAC, real-time devices, and AI doc processing

A full-stack management platform — role-based access control, a real-time tablet experience that syncs across devices, and AI-assisted OCR document processing. A custom Express file-router deploys one monorepo to multiple targets at once, and a WebSocket pipeline queues offline so devices cache locally and sync the moment they're back online.

Viral Campaign Site

One PHP page, a million visits a month

A single-serving PHP site that became the rallying point of a major online-gaming community protest (the Dota 2 “Give Diretide” campaign, merch store and all). Deliberate architectural choices let it absorb over a million monthly visits with zero downtime on conventional PHP hosting — and the campaign was documented on Know Your Meme and picked up across social platforms and the press.
