I’m Matt. I build things — mostly software, often with hardware attached.

This is where I write up what I’m working on: the useful bits, the dead ends, and the occasional thing that shouldn’t work but does.

What I’m spending time on:

Squatnet — the servers, sites and services behind everything here.
AutoAV — audio-visual and control software for festivals, built with a team.
Local AI — models that run on hardware I own, rather than someone else’s API.
AI agents — harnesses, guardrails, and messaging between agents.

Eighty skills was too many

Giving each chat channel a short skill list and its own system prompt halved my token use and made the agent pick better tools.
