A selection of current systems, useful prototypes, and older work. Private projects are described without pretending that a demo is a release—or that an idea is already a feature.
Each record describes product direction, systems design, verification, and acceptance. It does not claim that I personally wrote every line: Codex and Claude do much of the coding, and I review, test, and decide what ships.

Focalane
My creator command center: one local place that carries each piece of content from script through filming, editing, rendering, and review, coordinates my Mac and iPhone recorders at their verified boundaries, and publishes nothing without my explicit approval.
The Focalane family's Mac recorder. It keeps cursor-free screen video, pointer and geometry data, an optional camera, and separate audio as one untouched take, so cursor styles, zoom, and layouts stay adjustable.
A writing-first iPhone app where a saved note, or a script accepted in Focalane, can become the teleprompter prompt before filming takes in the same app.
A read-only diagnostic system for my own Jeep that compares the vehicle against its own history, traces each finding to its source recording or scan, and answers 'Unknown' when the evidence cannot support a conclusion.
Built to teach SAA-C03 candidates and cloud engineers to turn scenario constraints into architecture decisions, as an accepted browser-only SAA-C03 prototype.
An Apple Silicon media-production studio, built first for short illustrated explainer videos, with a separate human approval at each stage. The name is provisional; a rename to FocalaneProductions is planned.
A documentation protocol and offline checker that keeps agent handoffs current across sessions, models, and tools. v3.0.0 is tagged; it stays private until release.
A human-controlled capability broker for developer agents, local for now, with a private vault underneath. Version 1.3 has proven one approved, read-only GitHub check; the agent never sees the credential.
Being rebuilt as a small pronunciation course for Amharic speakers working in the US and Canada. First, a teacher's blind marking tests whether Azure's scoring hears their mistakes.
Projects I would reuse, narrow, or learn from rather than present as current products.

FocalaneSpatialLab
The research twin of FocalaneCapture, teaching it to know a creator's filming spaces well enough for an agent to set the shot, not merely see the room.
Earlier DNA-report work: a ClinVar lookup, then private Django versions where people explored their matched results as a graph and asked an AI assistant about them. It started the graph line that led to CertGraph.
