Developer Relations at Myceli AI · Maintainer at Pollinations.AI · GitHub Maintainer Advisory member · Founder of Elixpo
I build public developer infrastructure, autonomous-agent systems, operated open-source services, reproducible research, and the contribution machinery that helps projects move from an interesting repository to a usable release.
Most of my active work is published through the Elixpo and Pollinations organizations. The projects below are the best map of that work; they will not all appear in my personal repository list.
I founded and coordinate Elixpo, an open-source project foundry for active software, public research, operated services, and attributable releases. I work across its technical direction, project infrastructure, research surfaces, automation, release systems, and community programme.
| Selected work | What it does | Public record |
|---|---|---|
| Crumb | A self-hosted autonomous Rust agent harness and natural-language terminal powered by Pollinations. Debian packaging is in progress (ITP #1151280). | Source · Product direction · Debian packaging |

My research work connects papers to source, artifacts, limitations, citation metadata, and reproducible evidence.
- MonoDiffuse — native binary-weight training for MNIST diffusion, with repeated-seed artifacts, model releases, checksums, and a runnable Diffuino demonstration.
- OreoLook caching architecture — a three-layer cache for low-latency LLM web search on commodity CPU hardware, accompanied by a public evaluation dataset.
- RV565 — frame-independent RGB565 video playback on MicroPython-class ESP32-S3 hardware, co-authored with Anwesha Chakraborty, with firmware, measurements and analysis in a Zenodo artifact. It powers Oreo's video pipeline.
- QFabric — contract-driven task recovery across Linux and RTOS domains on Arduino UNO Q, with replayable decisions, evidence, a technical report, and a released Python package.
- OctaBit — a documented RISC-style eight-bit breadboard computer built with transistor and TTL logic, EEPROM microcode, schematics, and a published paper.
- Flappy6502 — Flappy Bird on a breadboard R6502 driving an SPI LCD in hand-tuned ca65 assembly, listed in 6502.org's Homebuilt Projects.
- WozFormer — an active investigation of language-model inference on a 1 MHz 6502 under severe SRAM and EEPROM constraints.
The canonical publication records live at research.elixpo.com and distinguish released papers, preprints, technical reports, active experiments, and unreviewed work.
I have maintained projects at Pollinations.AI since 2024 and work on the contributor and release infrastructure around its open generative-AI ecosystem. That work includes:
- contributor onboarding and issue/PR operations;
- the Pollen-Quest contribution and payout workflow;
- project-management and app-submission automation;
- release and GitHub Actions infrastructure; and
- the public Pollinations CLI.
I am part of GitHub's Maintainer Advisory community and work in developer relations at Myceli AI, the company behind Pollinations.AI, where I have also been a Product Engineer since 2025.

open-source governance autonomous agent harnesses
GitHub Actions and releases reproducible ML/systems research
Cloudflare infrastructure contributor tooling and public evidence
Rust, TypeScript and Python developer communities
I care about systems that remain understandable after the demo: visible ownership, explicit permissions, reproducible releases, honest lifecycle states, and credit connected to the people who did the work.
