_detours/off_thesis
Detours.
Made for love.
Things I made because I wanted to, not because they fit the thesis. Different stacks, different eras, different rules. The common thread is caring about the craft past the point where anyone is watching.
Most of what I do now sits at the intersection of systems, AI tooling, and developer experience. Thirty years in quality engineering and product leadership taught me what the best tools feel like. The last three years taught me that I can build them myself.
When local LLMs became serious — models loading into VRAM, inference running in the background, GPU memory becoming a first-class concern — I found myself staring at Task Manager and coming up empty. The tool for this moment simply didn’t exist. So I wrote it. That became Dofek. Shipped in Rust, because performance isn’t optional for a monitor, designed around trading-terminal principles because developers making real-time decisions deserve the same visual language as traders making real-time ones.
The same logic produced Fluent, Lodestar, and SiliconVault. Each of them started as me staring at a gap nobody else was building toward, then reaching for Claude Code instead of waiting.
The best tools are opinionated, visually sharp, and built by people who were frustrated enough to stop waiting for someone else to do it.
