Project Brief: Offline, HIPAA-Compliant Transcription If your research involves Protected Health Information (PHI), sending audio files to a cloud transcription service is just asking for a HIPAA violation. It’s a massive liability. All it takes is one breach at some third-party AI company and your university is facing seven-figure fines and a complete loss of trust. It’s a non-starter. This project was born from that simple reality. I’m developing a fully offline transcription solution for a local university’s research department. The entire process—from audio input to the finished text document—happens on a single, air-gapped machine. The data never touches the internet. It doesn’t get sent to a server in some unknown data center for processing; it stays local and secure. This isn’t just a feature; it’s the entire point. It provides researchers with the power of modern transcription technology without forcing them to gamble with patient privacy and compliance. ...

Every general contractor has the same problem. It’s not manpower or material costs. It’s the building department. Specifically building codes. A wall of text that seems impossible to fully wrap your head around, let alone decypher and get effective answer from. Sometimes a simple question can bog the entire job down; waiting for building officials to respond with pertinent, objective answers can take days, even weeks.

Project Brief: The No-BS Construction Management Platform Let’s be honest, most construction management software is a bloated, overpriced mess. You pay a fortune for a hundred features you’ll never use, and the whole thing runs slower than molasses in January. It’s built by committees in corner offices who haven’t stepped on a job site in years. I got fed up with it. So, I built my own. This is a ground-up construction management platform with all the core functionality of something like Buildertrend, but without the fluff. Using Python, SQLite, and HTMX, it’s ridiculously fast and responsive. There are no clunky JavaScript frameworks, just a tool that does what you need it to do—scheduling, daily logs, client communication, financials—and gets out of your way. The goal here isn’t to reinvent the wheel; it’s to build a better, leaner wheel for the GCs who are tired of paying for a fleet of 18-wheelers when all they need is a reliable work truck. I will update with a better breakdown as time permits. Here are some screenshots for now. ...
