Personal aptitudes

Devoted and determined self-learner who maintains self-motivation, requiring no oversight to stay on task and get things done. Known for being reliable, well organised, detail oriented and efficient.

Troubleshooting and problem solving with creative solutions, and a firm belief that problems are only misunderstood opportunities. Where others see problems, I see opportunities for solutions.

Professional aptitudes

• Full-stack development: Python/Flask APIs with a PostgreSQL database, and the front end that talks to them.
• Front-end development, website design, optimisation and maintenance (HTML, CSS, JavaScript).
• Unity 3D game development with C# scripting.
• Server administration: Apache and Gunicorn on Linux, TLS, security headers, and deployment.
• Computer, tablet, phone and electronics hardware/software diagnostics and repair.
• Remote and on-site diagnostics, malware and virus detection and removal.
• Custom-built PCs assembled to requested specifications.
• Typing 60+ wpm at 98% accuracy on average.
• Customer service, sales and business administration since 2001.

A note-first cognitive operating system, designed and built from scratch. You write in a daily note the way you would on paper, and AIOS turns that into tasks, events, routines and a recommended plan — without you learning any syntax for it.

The design principle it is built around is that the note is the source of truth and the interface. The task and event stores are derived indexes; when they disagree with the note, the note wins. A line you typed is never rewritten into a canonical form.

What it is made of

• Backend: Python, Flask, SQLAlchemy, PostgreSQL in production.
• Front end: vanilla ES2017 JavaScript, no framework and no build step — it runs in the browser exactly as written.
• Deployment: Apache in front of Gunicorn on Linux, live at caligoarts.com.

Engineering decisions worth naming

• Deterministic first. Parsers, not model calls, work out what you meant. The model is asked only when the intent genuinely cannot be read, and it never edits a note itself.
• One model call site, enforced by a test that walks the syntax tree and fails the build if a second one ever appears.
• AI can move content but never delete it. Deletion belongs to the user alone, and every automated action is written to an append-only log inside the note.
• A private note cannot reach the model or the public site. The publishing path checks the reference, the file the reference actually resolved to, and the write itself — because a symlink can make a public-looking reference land on a private file.
• A content security policy with no unsafe-inline, every inline script covered by its own hash, verified against the bytes the live server sends rather than against the repository.
• 4,767 automated checks across 137 groups, plus an end-to-end suite against a real account. Every known defect gets a failing test before it gets a fix.

The Developer's Notebook on this site is generated by it: notes become drafts, drafts are reviewed and edited, and only then are they rendered to static pages and published.

It is in daily use running my own business, and it is the system behind the AI integration work I do for other people — documented procedures, connected to the tools a business already uses, hosted or installed on their own hardware.
