My current project, a continuous cognition system: Ariadne.nullify.net
My company's site is at www.fizl.co.uk. My old company's site was at www.zorg.co.uk but I am no longer running it, though the idea might become a product of Fizl.

Open Source Projects
I recently decided to release some open source projects that I use in my own platform, for example:-
| Nullify WebMail | An advanced Webmail client with security as the primary driving force behind decisions. This supports a full set of groupware functionality including IMAP e-mail, CALDAV linked calendars, contacts, notes and tasks with full support for zero knowledge E2E encryption using OpenPGP (using our own client side library validated against GnuPG). This supports mobile device login independently from the mailbox access to avoid keylogging on untrusted devices. There is also an optional WebDav file storage UI. |
| Nullify CalDav | A companion app that provides a CalDav server with IMAP passthrough, this provides storage and sharing for calendars, contacts, notes and tasks. |
| AMQL | An R&D component of Ariadne that is used for direct AI model engineering, finding source tensors and adjusting models (for example, merging two disparate models, adding more MoE's or pruning). It also allows fine-tuning or model creation from scratch without using PyTorch. |

Linux Stack
While I'm a Windows user primarily I still use Linux a lot, I'm platform agnostic as a developer and sysadmin. Below is my personal preference for a general purpose tech stack (usually running inside Hyper-V):-
| Alpine Linux | Docker (on Alpine) | Portainer |
Utilities
Snappymail - Webmail client evolved from Rainloop
traefik - Load balancer
Mikrotik - Router/firewall
Development libraries / frameworks
Predominantly .NET ones I want to keep an eye on.
