CK42X Builder · AI Systems · Flipper/Firmware · Security Tools
I build practical tools at the edge of AI systems, local-first apps, cybersecurity hardware, and operator workflows.
Currently active duty Air Force, transitioning out late 2026. I use GitHub as a proof-of-work ledger: shipped demos, working utilities, Flipper apps, firmware experiments, and CK42X product surfaces.
- CK42X — my umbrella brand for apps, services, and experiments. Live at ck42x.com.
- Flipper / firmware tools — field utilities, training launchers, firmware flashers, and hardware-native experiments.
- AI operator tools — voice-to-clipboard, memory/workflow utilities, and local automation.
- Security utilities — OSINT/search helpers and authorized audit tooling.
- Local-first apps — inventory, wardrobe, recommendation, and personal workflow systems.

Built and deployed internal tools for Department of Defense operations while serving. None of these are public repos, but they represent real production software used by real teams.
| Tool | What it solves |
|---|---|
| StatusBoard | Integrated ops dashboard. Readiness, scheduling, and AI chat in one view. |
| WANG | Award nomination workflow. Timelines, board assignments, scoring. |
| SF-SCHEDULE | Shift rotation and personnel scheduling matrix. |
| EC-QC | Adaptive quiz platform with spaced repetition and leaderboards. |
| Data Turnaround | Entry/exit logging with pattern analytics and visualization. |
| RAM Tracker | Resource allocation and monthly distribution management. |
| GenAI Proxy | Local AI integration layer for SharePoint applications. |
| SharePoint Migration | Cross-site content migration with permission handling. |
Built internal workflow tools for real operational teams. TypeScript, Next.js, Python, SharePoint.
- Structure beats motivation. Systems that function when willpower doesn't.
- Automation beats repetition. If I do it twice, it becomes a script.
- Evidence beats vibes. Measure, log, iterate.
