Hi, I’m Calvin.
I’m a software developer based in Newcastle, Australia. My work spans web applications, developer tools and AI-assisted workflows.
I build products and developer tools. Alongside the products, I work on the process of building them: turning an idea into software, finding what breaks, and carrying those lessons into the next project.
BESF brings that process together. Content Machine explores the other side of delivery: turning source material into videos that can be inspected and revised.
The work includes VibeCord, for building Discord bots, DrawerSense, for last-seen object records, and BESF, the build-and-check case study behind the review work.
I’m interested in what improving AI means for people. I don’t think taste and judgement are permanent protection from automation: richer context could change which decisions a system can make well. I’m also exploring personal AI that learns alongside a person, carrying context forward and testing its predictions against what actually happens.

For a question, collaboration idea or role enquiry, get in touch. If you have an existing app with a specific release problem, the project page explains what context to send.
