Experiments

Small tools and prototypes exploring AI workflows, generative systems, and “builder-mode” product craft.

3D ASCII/ANSI Art + Animation Generator

A creative pipeline that imports 3D GBL files and converts them into stylized ASCII/ANSI compositions (static or animated) with gradient mapping and palette control.

What I did

- Built the app, core workflow and interaction model (import → style mapping → preview → export).
- Designed a “constraint-friendly” UI that makes a technical process feel playful and fast.

Mirage - AI-assisted “Blank” Templating for Product Mockups

A tool that helps creators generate reusable “blank templates” from real product photos, then map logos/designs onto correct regions without hunting for PSD smart-layer templates that only kind of match.

What it unlocks

- Use actual products (clothing, packaging, paper stock) instead of generic templates.
- Streamlines the mockup workflow with AI-assisted region finding + mapping, with advanced controls when needed.

CUAS - Defense Innovation R&D

Counter-Uncrewed Aerial Systems (CUAS / Drones). AI and hardware design work for high-stakes detection and decision workflows, focused on turning noisy signals into operator-ready understanding. Emphasis on trust cues, clarity under pressure, and human-in-the-loop controls.

Detect → classify → prioritize → decide (human-in-the-loop)

Trust cues: confidence, rationale, provenance/auditability (as applicable)

Failure modes + safe handoffs (stale data, uncertainty, escalation paths)

Public details are intentionally abstracted.

AI Design Studio - Custom GPTs, Agents, and Generative Experiments

A grab-bag of prototypes across custom GPT tools, voice/music experiments, agent workflows, and knowledge structures (libraries/ontologies) designed to accelerate research, production, and synthesis.
