Projects

Below is a collection of recent client collaborations, career highlights, and personal projects. Ideas for projects tend to emerge during the simple moments, when I'm out for a run, walking my dog, or just enjoying quiet reflection. They're not all good, but they're a jumping off point for me to experiment with new tools, frameworks, and products. Take your time exploring these projects, and don't miss the deep dives waiting for you in the blog section.

Open Source · Developer Tool

July 2026

A local tool for reviewing documents you wrote with an AI agent. A chat window is a bad place to work through a draft, so sidecar puts the document in the browser instead: you comment in the margin and edit in place, and the agent's changes come back as cards with a word-level diff you can accept or reject. Everything runs on your own machine against your own files. The review state lives in a JSON file beside the document, and git keeps the history. Open source under MIT, published to npm as @spktr/sidecar.
