stuff i've actually built

BeyBeetle WIP

a strap-on rig for measuring the launch angle and speed of Beyblades, because tournament beyblading deserves better data. RP2040, an off-board sensor array, custom PCB and enclosure, all in service of a slightly unhinged competitive edge, as a grown man in a childrens' spinning top game.

CRAB-Bot WIP

Claude Realtime Audio Bot (Bot) - a natural speech interaction mode for Claude Code, with its own UI and a control flow that lets you navigate the full Claude experience by talking into the terminal. Started life as a hackathon project, now has a dedicated MCP server hooking into Claude session events.

Speechmatics Playground WIP

i make LOTS of demos & PoCs, and wanted to make something for non technical folk to find and run them without touching a CLI. so i made a website to put all the best ones in one place. now it gets used daily during customer calls and large expos to flex our tech - helping secure deals and open up conversations.

due to popular request, i'm also working on integrating it with our SSO portal and polishing it up to be a featured part of our site, where customers can explore and have their socks blown off by the cool stuff our tech can do.

On-Device ASR Pipeline & AI Agent COMPLETE

editor note: i couldn't get a screenshot for this so you'll just have to use your ✨🧠🌈imagination✨🦄🪄 here.

for this, i helped integrate a PoC to fill out police reports in real time, running the inference for both ASR and LLM pipelines entirely offline (WOW!!). this meant getting comfy with low level programming again and rehauling a WS proxy layer between our stack and the client's.

it got demonstrated by the client at their presentation in Singapore, to positive reception, which i'm pretty chuffed about, as this one did my head in for a while.

Finalize COMPLETE

editor note: i found the video i used to demo this concept internally, enjoy!

rapidly developed a poc (now feature) to allow clients to get finalised transcripts on command, which is great for a variety of different use cases. it worked really well, with sub-second latency and is now fully fledged feature, finding usage in our integrations, client voice agents, and more.

i also spent like, 600 smackeroos on a 3D printer just for a funny bit in this demo, which is lowkey an interesting choice but hey i have a 3d printer now.

MultiChannel COMPLETE

editor note: once again, i couldn't find a screenshot so you'll have to ✨🧠🌈imagine✨🦄🪄 something or if you're a real nerd, check out Speechmatics' docs for multichannel audio.

fully owned and developed a feature to enable piping multiple streams of audio to a single WS session on our API. this was for customers who might be on conference calls, or have multiple microphones at a venue. this feature helped secure a few tasty deals, and has been pretty useful for many internal and external demo cases moving forwards.

Integrations & Demos ALWAYS WIP

i've also made integrations to bring Speechmatics tech into new platforms, such as Zapier and Twilio and have plans for more in the future to bring wider adoption and visibility of our tech to new users.

in addition to this, i also make a LOT of demos from internal requests, such as comparison tools, benchmarkers, translation and dubbing PoCs and many more. These are all now tucked away into the Speechmatics playground, which I'm also quite proud of.

README.TXT FOUND IT

ok so you actually used the search. most people find the folders, read two documents and leave, which is fine, that is what folders are for.

the search is not fussy - it knows far more words about each file than it ever shows. try nouns. try a thing you think i might have worked on. try the wrong spelling of it. literally try whatever, i don't care, it's your life.
