One Wire Out

I make things for myself, I put them here.

About this place

I'm a builder. Most of what I make exists because something in my life needed solving; audio tooling for my production pipeline, machine learning where it actually earns its keep, scripts and systems for a life run on Arch. Everything here was made for me, the only bar it ever had to clear was if it worked.

The writeups are just that; what I made, why I made it, the reasoning, the decisions along the way. It's all stuff that exists and runs, and the code is there if you want a look.

The musings are a little more abstract. Just things I've noticed, only the idea itself being built.
