Welcome to Building & Tinkering

I build things outside the clinic. Software, mostly — a custom EHR for my practice, a voice-first AI learning console for my kids, a local inference server because I'd rather not send everything to the cloud. Sometimes hardware too.

This category is where I write about that work. Not polished tutorials — more like a build log. Here's what I'm trying to do, here's what broke, here's what I learned.

If you're a maker, a developer, a parent who wants to build something for your kids, or just curious what a naturopathic physician does at 11pm — this is the category for that.
