I get annoyed,then I build the missing thing. AI-assisted execution across Android apps, Linux systems, reverse-engineering tools, automation, and utilities, turning messy technical work into verified shipped outcomes.
01 / Problem Name the annoying gap.
02 / Build Shape the missing tool.
03 / Verify Test it against real use.
04 / Ship Leave a usable artifact.
01 Linux audio tools are stuck in 2005. Linux Sonar / Python / PipeWire / WirePlumber / GTK4 02 Task and habit apps are either bloated or inflexible. Meteor / Kotlin / Compose / Room / Android 03 Hermes needs a native Android client for its real sessions and controls.

Linux Sonar SteelSeries Sonar for Linux: per-app PipeWire routing, ChatMix, mic effects, and hardware-aware controls.

Problem Linux audio tools are stuck in 2005.
Outcome Turns headset routing and mic processing into a native Linux workflow instead of a Windows-only compromise.
Proof Public source repo with PipeWire, WirePlumber, and GTK4 implementation paths. Origin / systems curiosity
Take apart. Understand. Rebuild. 6c75 ORIGIN STORY / USEFUL CURIOSITY
MOD TAKE APART SHIP THE USEFUL VERSION
01 Started on a PS3: jailbreaks, modding, firmware rabbit holes, and too many late nights taking things apart.
02 That curiosity never really left. Now it shows up as Android apps, Linux tools, automation, and runtime systems work.
03 The through-line is simple: understand the system, rebuild the annoying part, ship the useful version.
Workbench / current state
Still building.
Focus Building & shipping
Currently Meteor, linux-sonar, Raycast extensions
Always Learning, breaking, rebuilding
