A new home for edge-AI notes

I let this site sit as a static résumé for four years while my work drifted somewhere completely different. This is the reboot.

Where I’m pointing now

Somewhere between “hobbyist” and “practitioner,” I’ve been building small AI/ML systems that run on hardware in my house, not in someone else’s data center. A fall detector for my grandmother. A tiny transformer I wrote from scratch to actually understand attention. A Discord-connected pet living on a Raspberry Pi. An API gateway for the mess of IoT devices I own. None of it is groundbreaking research — all of it is buildable, and that’s what I want to write about.

What you’ll find here

• Blueprints. Full builds: hardware BOM, wiring, install steps, the code. Enough that someone else can rebuild it in a weekend. First one up: Elderly Guardian.
• Blog. Shorter pieces — dev logs, “what surprised me,” specific things that broke.
• Projects. Everything I’ve open-sourced, in one place.

Why “at the edge”

The cloud is fine. It’s just not where I want my grandmother’s fall alarm running. It’s not where I want a language model I’m learning from to be. Every project on this site can be described in the same shape: X, but running on a device you can hold, with no phoning home. That’s the constraint that makes the work interesting.

More soon. If any of this resonates, poke around github.com/moorebrett0 or say hi at moorebrett0@gmail.com.
