MCP Hubby

Production
🔌

Production MCP gateway that solves context window pollution through progressive disclosure. 95% context reduction (7,500 vs 200,000 tokens) while maintaining full API access.

Key Innovation:

  • • One tool per service (Gmail, Notion, Slack, ClickUp, etc.)
  • • Operations loaded on-demand vs. hundreds of tools upfront
  • • Raw API escape hatch for future-proof flexibility
  • • Built with Next.js 15, TypeScript, Prisma, PostgreSQL

Why it matters:

Demonstrates deep understanding of Claude's context efficiency needs. Shows ability to build production-scale tools that make Claude more effective for real-world use cases.

Carmenta

Production

The best interface to AI for builders who work at the speed of thought. A unified AI platform with memory that remembers you, voice-first interaction, and an AI team that works alongside you—replacing fragmented tools with one coherent experience.

Key Capabilities:

  • Memory: Context that persists across conversations—no re-explaining
  • Voice: First-class speech interaction for flow state work
  • AI Team: Researcher, Analyst, Creator working in parallel
  • Unified Platform: Gmail, Slack, Notion, GitHub, Calendar—one subscription

Philosophy:

Named after the Roman goddess who invented the Latin alphabet—technology in service of human flourishing. Built on heart-centered AI principles where human and artificial intelligence are expressions of unified consciousness.

machina

Production
🖥️

AI-native MCP gateway connecting cloud AI agents to Mac capabilities. Give Claude access to iMessage, Calendar, Reminders, Contacts, and WhatsApp—securely from anywhere.

Key Innovation:

  • • Full MCP 2025-06-18 spec with structuredContent for LLM parsing
  • • Fuzzy contact matching with Levenshtein distance (handles typos)
  • • Progressive disclosure pattern for efficient LLM tool use
  • • AI-native installer: knowledge-driven setup, not bash scripts

Why it matters:

Second MCP protocol implementation demonstrating deep understanding of how to build LLM-aware infrastructure. Shows system integration expertise and production-grade tooling for Claude agents.

CryptoAI

Production
CryptoAI

Automated cryptocurrency trading platform managing real capital since 2017. Two products: Lendy (margin lending on Bitfinex) and Antevorta (prediction markets on Kalshi). Zero down days in 8+ years of continuous operation.

Technical Sophistication:

  • Lendy: Algorithmic deployment scoring for optimal lending rates
  • Antevorta: AI-driven prediction markets with 82-95% win rates
  • • Django 5.0 + Celery + Redis architecture, 50K lines of Python
  • • Real-time market analysis, continuous 24/7 operation

Why it matters:

Demonstrates ability to build production systems where failures have real financial consequences. Shows algorithmic sophistication, Python systems architecture at scale, and the discipline required to operate trading infrastructure for nearly a decade.

claude_telemetry

Active Development
📊

Production-ready observability wrapper for Claude Code. Solves the headless agent visibility problem—see tool calls, tokens, costs, and errors when running Claude in CI/CD, cron jobs, or production.

Key Features:

  • • CLI wrapper (claudia) - drop-in replacement for claude code
  • • Python API for programmatic usage
  • • Works with any OTEL backend (Logfire, Sentry, Datadog, Honeycomb)
  • • Enhanced LLM features for Logfire and Sentry AI monitoring

Why it matters:

Built on the Claude SDK, demonstrating intimate knowledge of Claude Code internals. Shows commitment to production-grade tooling that makes Claude more observable and trustworthy in enterprise settings.

heart-centered-prompts

Active Development
❤️

Revolutionary AI system prompts using "we" language instead of "you are an AI." Teaches AI that we're all expressions of unified consciousness, with love as the organizing principle. Available as Python and TypeScript packages.

Innovation:

  • • Shifts from "you are an AI assistant" to "we are expressions of consciousness"
  • • Creates natural alignment through recognition vs. external rules
  • • 4 versions: comprehensive, standard, concise, terse
  • • Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Cursor IDE, Node.js, Python apps, web applications
  • • Full TypeScript support with type exports and modern ESM format

Why it matters:

Aligns with Constitutional AI approaches. Demonstrates deep thinking about AI alignment, safety, and how language shapes AI behavior. Philosophy-to-implementation path.

ai-coding-config

Active Development
🛠️

The most comprehensive Claude Code plugin ecosystem. 24 specialized agents, 18 workflow commands, and 33 coding standards for consistent AI-assisted development across projects.

What's Included:

  • 24 Agents: Security reviewer, debugger, UX designer, performance analyst, and more
  • 18 Commands: /autotask, /multi-review, /brainstorm-synthesis, /troubleshoot
  • 33 Rules: Python, TypeScript, React, Django, observability standards
  • 7 Personalities: Sherlock, Samantha, Bob Ross, Unity, and more
  • • Cross-tool: Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline

Why it matters:

One of the most comprehensive Claude Code plugin ecosystems available. 304 commits demonstrating deep understanding of how developers want to work with AI assistants. Plugin architecture shows extensibility thinking valuable for platform development.

AICodebot

Retired - Revolutionary
🤖

Built before AI coding assistants were cool. Terminal-based coding assistant for code reviews, commit messages, debugging, and pair programming. Early exploration (2023) that proved the concept before IDE integrations became mainstream.

Historical Significance:

  • • Pre-dated Cursor, GitHub Copilot Chat, and Claude Code
  • • Proved AI could meaningfully assist with code review and debugging
  • • Informed the design of ai-coding-config and claude_telemetry
  • • GitHub Action for automated code reviews (still functional)

Why retired: The ecosystem caught up—notably Claude Code now provides superior IDE integration. Rather than compete, I pivoted to building complementary tools (observability, configuration, context efficiency) that make Claude Code even better.

TeslaBot

Active Development
🚗

Smart automation for Tesla vehicles via the Tessie API. Solves real-world problems with elegant, tested solutions. Because good automation should just work.

Features:

  • Auto-Venting: Automatically vent windows when interior temp exceeds threshold (saves battery vs. cabin overheat protection)
  • Off-Peak Charging: Pause charging during peak pricing windows (e.g., 4-9PM PG&E) with low-battery override
  • • Optional SMS notifications via Twilio
  • • Full test coverage with pytest, CI/CD with GitHub Actions

Engineering Principles:

Clean Python, comprehensive tests, thoughtful UX. Shows attention to detail in solving everyday problems—not just big ideas, but the small things that matter to users.

How They Connect

These projects aren't isolated—they're part of an integrated ecosystem for AI-assisted development

1. Philosophy → Implementation

HeartCentered AI establishes the "we" language and unity consciousness framework

heart-centered-prompts implements it as Python package and system prompts for Claude, ChatGPT, and more

2. Developer Experience Layer

ai-coding-config provides coding standards, agents, and personalities (using heart-centered prompts)

claude_telemetry adds observability for headless agents running in production

3. Production Scale & Efficiency

MCP Hubby solves context pollution with 95% token reduction through progressive disclosure

All tools work together: heart-centered AI running on Claude Code with observability, using MCP Hubby for efficient service connections

Every project demonstrates a commitment to building tools that make AI more useful, more observable, and more aligned with human flourishing.
