Building quiet, precise tools by day; writing songs and essays by night. This is the public ledger — code, releases, miles, and the goals I'm chasing this season.
Things I've built and shipped. The clinical edge. Most are open source.
A small melting pot for chat. Bridges Discord, Matrix, IRC into one room with one log. Solo OK; flocks OK.
The engine birdman.dev runs on. Markdown in, hand-tuned typography out. No JS unless you ask.
A 16-step MIDI sequencer that lives in your shell. Built for laptop sets where opening a DAW is a commitment. Vim-bindings, OSC out, ~3MB binary.
Drag a wave, hear a wave. A pedagogical synth for the browser, used in three university courses.
Bedroom-recorded, late-shift mix. Mostly ambient & post-rock; sometimes a kalimba sneaks in. Releases under hombre pájaro.
Field notes from the intersection. Long-form essays on code, music, and the road.
Where the body has been while the mind was somewhere else.
Public goals, updated monthly. Honest about the misses. Updated 2026-05-06.
