What I’m working on

I’m using this phase to explore problems that have interested me for a long time. Most of these projects are early. Some may work, some may change direction, and some may simply teach me something useful. Everything here is open source on GitHub.

Distributed systems

Early prototype GossipCache In-process L1 cache with a memory-first L2 hub — hot reads stay local while the hub owns versions and invalidations. Related lesson: Design: Distributed Cache Caching · Distributed systems

Exploring Luminate A high-cardinality observability system, built from the ground up for label dimensions that break traditional time-series databases. Related lesson: Observability Platform Architecture Observability · Time series

AI and agents

Exploring Cogneetree Hierarchical context for AI applications — persistent memory across Session → Activity → Task, so agents can reach past decisions and learnings. Related lesson: Orchestration patterns — memory Agents · Context management

Tools and learning

Exploring Illusion Code-first physics simulations that reveal exactly where intuition breaks. Simulation · Learning
