2026at a glance
Year one of doing this full time, 1 December 2025 to November 2026.
A year ago I was a frontend developer. I'd come out of a Bachelor of Commerce (Finance) at Macquarie and taught myself to code. This year I stopped picking work by what I already knew, and started taking on whatever the idea needed.
GitHub contributions by month, Dec 2025 – Nov 2026.
The work
- Pharma portalsPatient portals and admin dashboards for several big pharma companies.
- RFIDInventory management, tracked with RFID tags.
- HardwareESP32 firmware, and 3D printing to put it in something.
- AppsiOS and macOS in SwiftUI. Android in Kotlin.
- The Mac miniAn M6 Mac mini became the build machine. Agents run on it around the clock, and I drive it from my phone.
- VideographyPicked up a camera to shoot and edit for 404.
- SocialA short run posting online, then back to building in private.

- Now PlayingA music visualiser that picks out the drums, the notes and the vocals.
- LanternistA film-tracking app, on TestFlight.

Clavis
Pick of the yearEvery Claude Code session on every machine, in one live hub. A Mac app, an iPhone app, and Tokenhaven: an island where each machine is a town, each project is a building and each agent is someone at a desk.



The Tiny TowerThe Mac mini as a tower on the iPhone. One floor per project, with its agents at work inside.
A machineThe Mac mini's page: what it cost, day by day, and every agent running on it right now.
DevicesThe phone, the Mac mini and two laptops, linked over Tailscale, each with its status.
