Building software.
Sharing what I learn.
I build AI products and open-source tools at Outback Yak, and share what I learn through talks, courses, and conversations.
Lately, I’ve given an AI agent root access, cut Nepali news narration costs by 90%, and been mistaken for someone taking on OpenAI by a Guardian reporter.
I want to run
my own tools.
I built geojson.app because I wanted a web mapping stack I could fully control. I’ve worked with Kubernetes and Linkerd for similar reasons. Open-weight AI appeals to me because I can run a model myself, change it, and see what happens.
Try geojson.appA few highlights
