hey, I'm Tristan 👋

I build things for AI agents, and I'm learning most of the deep stuff as I go. That combo is kind of my whole thing here. I didn't come up through a CS program, so when an agent uses a word I don't know, I'd rather it teach me than have me nod along and pretend.

Most of what I make lives in the Claude Code and Codex world. Small developer tools, plus a couple of apps that got more serious than I planned.

Things I've shipped

Parakeet Dictation is free voice typing for Windows. Press a shortcut, talk, and the words land wherever your cursor is. It runs locally, works offline, and has no account or subscription. I use it to write most of my prompts now.

footnote is a Claude Code plugin that drops tiny "look this up later" hints into Claude's answers and quietly tracks what you've already learned, so the hints get sharper instead of repetitive. I built it for past-me. MIT, go fork it.

proofloop came from getting tired of agents saying something worked when it didn't. It runs the real thing, checks the state, logs, API, or browser, and calls it a pass or a fail. The reply is a claim. The database row is proof.

resolve is decision rooms for teams that are tired of meetings. You hash it out async, the AI writes the summary, and there's a paper trail for when someone asks why a call got made six months ago. Next.js, TypeScript, Prisma.

There's more in the private pile. It comes out as it stops embarrassing me.

What I reach for

TypeScript and Next.js most days, Node and Prisma underneath, Python for the Windows stuff, Claude and OpenAI doing the heavy thinking.

Say hi
