Recent Activity
Modelled the office lighting rig and a venue stage in QLC+'s 3D view from real measurements, and wrote new fixture definitions from manufacturer DMX tables, so pages can be designed and checked on screen before they reach real lights.
Set up two AI sessions to share one codebase safely: one edits and tests against the lights, the other commits and keeps the repo in order, with a shared handoff file and a check of every claim against git.
Ran a multi-agent research sweep on live lighting busking: six parallel tracks plus a sweep for new ideas, each checked by an independent reviewer. It produced a reference of techniques, pitfalls and eight ways to lay out a busking control surface, sourced and labelled down to the claim.
Turned a folder of lighting experiments into a structured lab: a private repo organised by rig, Python generators that build QLC+ show files from code, and an installer that sets up any machine's fixture library from the repo.
Cleared 131 fake accounts from the membership through a reviewable, reversible process (dry runs, backups and an audit trail) while keeping every genuine member.
Where This Is Heading
What's Cooking
Several things at once, as usual:
- AI systems and automation that take repetitive work off people's plates
- Websites and web apps that ship and do what they're supposed to
- Building out entertainment spaces with live sound and light systems
- There have been a bunch of tools that started as a personal experiment and ended up solving a real problem for a real client
- I've been playing in a brand-new space for me — ARGs — Stay tuned for more
On the surface, those don't have much in common. But the same instincts that make a live show run smoothly are the ones that make a software system hold together under pressure. The people I work with get the benefit of all of it, and it's a whole lot of fun.
The Endgame
Same pattern as always, just covering more ground.
Decades across sales training, military service, and enterprise technology will do that. The focus has shifted hard into AI development over the last couple of years, and it's been a hell of a ride so far.
People come back to work with me and bring friends because something got solved, something shipped, and they've got more problems worth solving.
The work itself:
- AI and automation has moved past experimentation — it's running for real clients, on real deadlines, giving people huge amounts of time back in their week
- The sound and lighting work is still a blast — years on stage before I ever stood behind a board means the people performing get someone who knows what it feels like from both sides
- My friends and clients who get things solved keep coming back with more challenges and bringing new friends along that often become new clients.
No master plan. But the pattern holds, the range keeps expanding, and something useful comes out the other side.
