Deadlink Labs
About
For thirty years I built things. Post-production pipelines, home automation, dashboards, music, tools. But when someone asked "where can I see your work?", there was no link to send. The work was real. The URL did not exist. I was the dead link.
This lab is the fix. Everything I build now gets documented, numbered, and archived here. Nothing 404s anymore.
The pattern
The through line is being early and learning by building. Researching the internet in '96. Conservatory piano and electronic engineering. Twenty years in sound post, ending as Post-Production Lead. DIY home automation on MQTT and ESP a decade ago. My first ChatGPT account at Crehana. Now I ship AI-assisted production sites.
Now
- Building deadlinklabs.com in public (LOG 001).
- Testing a local language model against Home Assistant.
- Early research on HEXCAST, a music visualizer.
Tools I actually use
- Astro
- TypeScript
- Home Assistant
- MQTT
- Python
- Obsidian
- Claude Code
Work with me
I help small businesses work better with AI and automation. I find what is eating your time and money, then I build the fix: automated workflows, dashboards, internal tools, or your complete web presence. From understanding the problem to shipping the solution.
- A conversation. You tell me how the work actually happens today. I ask a lot of questions.
- A plan. I map what to automate, build, or simplify, with clear scope and a fixed price.
- The build. I ship, document everything, and hand it over working. You own all of it.
