I'm a builder by nature. Platforms, tools, and the odd website rewrite. These days I lead platform and AI engineering at Sportsbet, and this is where my lingering thoughts end up.

all entriesThings I’m building, trying, and working out along the way.
- Wiring Pidex's Workbench Through to the RuntimeI implemented Pidex's Figma workbench screens, then added tests that exercise the desktop app through its Pi bridge. The useful boundary is what stays real: Electron, saved sessions and Git staging. A scripted Pi peer makes the UI repeatable without pretending that a passing test proves live provider behaviour.
- Making BetterFit Easier to Use Between SetsI built out BetterFit's watch workout flow around one frequent action: log the set without hunting through controls. The small simulator then exposed clipped values and awkward wrapping. Inline Crown editing, separate title and rest rows, and native UI tests made the interaction more concrete. The change is merged, with physical-watch checks still ahead.
- Adding Figma exposed drift in my MCP config generatorA sandboxed run of my MCP generator would have restored old auth settings, dropped a PATH override and copied a broken key value. I applied the Figma change separately.
- Giving OpenClaw a tools image took more than a successful buildOpenClaw needed browser and rendering tools in its container. A runner CLI mismatch and a private-image pull failure separated the successful build from the healthy rollout.
- Keeping My Now Page Current on a Static SiteI added a Now page, then asked how to keep Tinkering and Writing current without maintaining two more lists. They now select published content during the build. The useful distinction was between rebuilding the page and changing the work it describes: an automated rebuild should not make an old update look new.
