It’s been a while since my last post.

Wanted to update you on how things are going!

Project A

I’ve made some great headway with my ‘Local grammar/ spelling’ tool. It’s working as you would expect an MVP would work. Works amazingly in some areas, but crap in others.

I’m planning to beta test this with a small group of friends, but I need a bit of time to set this up, and I’m looking to manage/distribute this via Chrome Web Store.

Project A will be able to solve the following issues:

• Spelling mistakes Catches typos and misspellings as you write — whether it’s a fat-finger or a word you’ve always spelt slightly wrong.
• Grammar errors Flags sentences that are grammatically incorrect — things like subject-verb disagreement (“the team were ready” vs. “the team was ready”) or incorrect verb tenses.
• Punctuation issues Spots missing commas, incorrect apostrophes, and other punctuation slips that change how your writing reads.
• Style & clarity improvements Goes beyond correctness — suggests cleaner, more natural phrasing so your writing doesn’t just pass the grammar test, it actually sounds good.
• Sentence-level rewrites For sentences that need more than a small fix, Project A can suggest a fully rewritten version that says the same thing, better.

More features are being developed, and more will be written and deployed soon, so keep your eyes out for the next blog.

Project B

This was the new idea that I mentioned in the title.

I’m currently working on a Hermes agent bot that can use Postiz to help me post images I might have screenshotted from other posts on TikTok, Instagram, etc., so I can repost them onto my meme page. I’m going to see if I can build traction with the Hermes agent and explore how it can support this side project of mine. It’s Day One, so I don’t really have much to showcase, but I will come back next week and showcase more in terms of development and what I’m using.

I’ve been building a lot of things lately — most of them with AI tools in the loop — and I’ve wanted a place to write up the messy, honest progress on each of them rather than just polishing things up for LinkedIn.

This is that place.

What I’ll be writing about

A mix of things, depending on the week:

• AI project logs — step-by-step progress on whatever I’m prototyping, including the parts that break spectacularly
• Tool reviews in practice — how I actually use Claude, Cursor, and others in real workflows, not synthetic benchmarks
• Security x AI — observations from my day job as an Information Security Lead intersecting with the AI tooling wave
• Side builds — small experiments that may or may not turn into anything useful

Why write at all?

Mostly accountability. I find I think more clearly when I write things down, and sharing it publicly adds just enough friction to actually finish a thought before publishing it.

Also, I’ve learned a huge amount from other people’s “build in public” posts and I’d like to contribute back to that pool.

Format

Posts will be short and frequent rather than long and occasional. I’ll aim for a few hundred words, a clear takeaway, and honesty about what I don’t know yet.

If you’ve found this, thanks for reading. More to come shortly.
