Hi there, I'm Derek 👋

I'm a software engineer living between Las Vegas and San Francisco, building things I'm excited about.

🚀 What I'm into:

  • 🤖 Artificial Intelligence: Building intelligent applications, exploring cutting edge models, and innovating in AI powered UX/UI.
  • 🎧 EDM & Electronic Music: Deeply interested in house, techno, experimental electronic, hyperpop, and artists like Odesza, as well as discovering underground music scenes.
  • 🌐 ActivityPub & Decentralization: Working on decentralized projects, exploring federated networks, and contributing to open standards like ActivityPub.
  • 💻 Open Source: Strong advocate for open source software, collaboration, and transparency in tech.

🛠️ Current Projects:

  • Doorman: Lets you remotely unlock doors for guests or deliveries without picking up the phone.
  • Object Detection Dashcam: Enhancing driver safety using ML object detection and real time situational awareness.
  • Decentralized Road Reporting: Exploring how ActivityPub can help drivers share real time road conditions without central servers.

🎵 Listening to right now:

🌱 Currently exploring:

  • Advanced LLM driven UI/UX
  • Web based 3D visualizations
  • Open source federated protocols

💬 Inspiring Thoughts:

At his $2 billion startup’s January offsite in France, Clem Delangue, Hugging Face’s cofounder and CEO, had one directive for his 150 employees: Be more ambitious. "Sometimes when an industry gets bigger, the speed of evolution goes down. Here it’s evolving really, really fast. I think there’s potential for multiple $100 billion companies."
