Workshop · the built record
Things I've built.
Some shipped to millions, some to me. The common thread: I still care about the sharp edges — the API shape, the failure mode, the way it feels to use at 3am when something's broken.
◆ In production
Systems I'm running right now.

Clarity
Strategic intelligence from a firehose of content.
Ingests hundreds of newsletters and articles a week. Runs LLM passes over each piece — extraction, clustering, ranking. Delivers six daily briefings tailored to professional lenses. The editorial voice, the caching keyed on content hash, the Postgres schema, the eval harness — I built the whole thing and I'm still shipping to it daily.
Impact Powers promitb.dev's daily feed · 420+ briefings · 12K+ sources analyzed

AgentZ
Sandbox environments for AI agents, ready in seconds.
An OpenClaw-inspired agent sandbox platform on ECS with Cognito + Federate auth. Compliance-tested (DyePack). Gives internal teams a safe place to let an agent run loose without chewing up shared infrastructure.

The Panel · promitb.dev
A personal site that refuses to be a résumé.
The site you're reading. Daily briefings fed from a Mac Mini Postgres. Newsletter on D1 + Resend. Search on a 180KB lazy-loaded JSON index. A hand-built editorial voice, every page designed like a magazine feature.

◆ Personal tools
Tools I built for myself, shared sometimes.

WhisperFlow
Talk to your Mac. It listens better than anyone.
macOS menu bar dictation. Local Whisper for the recognition, Bedrock for the post-processing pass that fixes tone, grammar, names. The latency is under 500ms cold, ~120ms warm. I dictate most of my emails and commit messages into it now.

1Code
A code assistant built for how I actually code.
An Electron desktop app that pairs a conversational surface with precise tool execution. Not a Cursor fork, not a Cline wrapper — my own opinion about how a code assistant should feel when you're the one driving.

Assistant
My own AI platform — LibreChat + Dify + n8n, behind a hardware key.
An EC2-backed personal AI platform. API proxy (Claude, GPT-5, local), LibreChat, Dify for workflows, n8n for automation — all behind WebAuthn SSO. My single source of truth for every AI query I run.

PregBuddy
My first attempt at making something from nothing.
Nights and weekends: founding engineer at a pregnancy-care startup. Features, rating models, the blur of trying to build a real product from scratch. I still count what I learned there as the foundation for everything since.
