An open, version-controlled dataset of AI-relevant datacentre infrastructure across Africa — 14 facilities in 5 countries, every data point sourced, dated, and assigned a confidence level.
Some of the work that I have done, either to scratch an itch, to learn, or for clients.
In the field
Systems deployed for real people and real institutions.
Standards & open source
Changes landed in codebases and specifications I did not start.
Open Source Contributions ongoing
Editorial and code contributions to the WHATWG HTML Standard, the Matrix protocol website, and Inspect — plus a TC39 proposal implemented in SpiderMonkey.
Reading infrastructure · 2021–present
One corpus, five years: 14,257 highlights and notes from 299 books, 2019–2025.
Nota CLI Mar 2023
A Node.js CLI that parses a Kindle's clippings file into a folder of Markdown.
Zhira ongoing
Zhira, Shona for “path(s)”, is a versioned context pipeline over a reading corpus, turning Kindle highlights and notes into a retrievable, reliable, cited context for humans and models. Early build.
Extraction → organisation → retrieval. Each layer only became worth building once the one beneath it was solid.
Tools & experiments
Built to learn something, or because I wanted the tool to exist.
Kindle Highlights Desktop App ongoing
An Electron desktop app that imports, parses, and organizes your Kindle highlights so they stay useful after you finish a book.

A neural network implemented from scratch with vanilla JavaScript and trained on the MNIST dataset.
Client work
The trade that funds the rest.
