Tech and tools

Stack

The applications that shape my workflow

Avid - Media Composer - long-form documentary, and the cut that has to survive a year of changes.

Premiere - Short-form and commercial work, and anything that has to move through Adobe.

Photoshop - Frames, plates, titles, and the design work around a cut.

CapCut - Lifting the grammar of social media, cut on the phone.

Claude - Where most of the custom tooling begins.

Cursor - Where I build my own tooling. Knowing what to build is the work - the typing is the fast part.

Fetch - Mine. A native macOS download manager for film and audio work - designed, built and branded solo.

SwiftUI - Every interface in Fetch, from the first sketch to the installer.

Obsidian - The knowledge base the agent writes to and reads back - context that compounds.

Hermes - The self-hosted model behind the agent. Runs on my own hardware, not an API.

Raspberry Pi - The always-on hardware the whole self-hosted bench runs on.

Grok Bot - Where Sproket runs - the assistant editor that logs dailies and builds the Premiere project.

Slack - Day to day with production teams and post crews.

Signal - The direct line when a conversation shouldn’t sit on a company server.

Telegram - How the agent reports in and takes instructions.

Speechify - Scripts and long reads as audio.

Custom Tooling

Production problems turned into software - prototyped fast, then hardened into tools that ship and keep working. Native macOS, from the first sketch to the installer.

Fetch

Workflow Automation

A self-hosted LLM agent running scheduled jobs against a knowledge base that compounds across sessions - persistent context, autonomous scheduling, and work that happens between sessions rather than only inside them. Built and running on my own infrastructure.

Assistant Editing

An agent that does the first pass on dailies - finds the shots on each camera reel, reads scene and take off the slate, and hands back a Premiere project with the subclips cut, binned and strung out in shoot order. 261 subclips off four reels.
