A notebook of things worth shipping.

This is the broader workbench — a place for simulations, educational builds, dashboards, experiments, and the infrastructure projects that make the rest of the lab possible.

Workbench Ideas • Prototypes • Systems

Not just finished products

Some projects are public-facing. Some are operational. Some are experiments that teach me something useful. The point isn’t polish for its own sake — it’s whether the build helps make an idea clearer or a workflow better.

A few things on the bench

These aren’t meant as glossy portfolio tiles. They’re snapshots of the kinds of problems I like solving.

🌌

Newton’s Lab

A browser-based physics sandbox for exploring force, motion, and feedback in real time — built for curiosity and classroom use.

🧩

Agent orchestration

Specialist workflows that route research, writing, coding, and archive work through separate lanes without losing coordination.

📚

Curriculum tooling

Lesson and resource systems that turn complex teaching sequences into practical, buildable classroom materials.

🖥️

Operational dashboards

Interfaces for live task state, usage, and system health — designed to make multi-agent work visible instead of opaque.

?

Question first, then proof

Most projects start the same way: with a stubborn question. What would make this easier to see? What would make this easier to teach? What would make this system easier to trust?

From there, the work usually moves through a prototype, a real use case, and a tighter second version. If it survives contact with reality, it earns a permanent place in the lab.

Keep what proves useful

“I’m less interested in shipping everything than in shipping the right things. A project earns its place when it makes a concept more legible, a workflow more reliable, or a person more capable than they were before.”

Follow the thread that interests you

Some projects live out in the open. Others feed into broader systems and teaching tools. All of them connect back to the same lab.
