Eight side projects, one AI pair programmer, and a suspicious amount of free evenings recovered. Everything below is real, public, and running — which is more than most side projects can say. And this is just the public sample — many more were built for private personal use.

A zero-cost profiling library with HDR-histogram percentiles (p50 through p99.9), derive macros, and a stub build that compiles to literally nothing when disabled.
The kind of library you write to profile the other projects. It started the whole avalanche.

A 1980s Italian football management game, preserved by writing an entire Commodore 64 BASIC interpreter around it — PETSCII rendering, authentic 600-statements-per-second pacing, golden-screen tests verified against real VICE screenshots, and glyphs checked against the actual character ROM because online PETSCII charts lie.
Fourteen bugs were found in the original listing. They are lovingly preserved, like scratches on a vinyl record.

Borland's legendary Turbo Vision TUI framework, reborn in Rust. Windows, menus, dialogs, a code editor, help system — the whole 1990 DOS experience, minus the DOS.
Some people cope with nostalgia by buying vintage hardware. Cheaper to just reimplement the framework.
Nov 2025
A fast HTTP file server with uploads, downloads, reverse SSH tunneling for external access, and path-traversal protection — the one-binary answer to "how do I get this file onto that machine".
Named after the Star Trek room where anything can materialize. Here it's mostly tarballs.
Feb 2026
A code-intelligence MCP server that gives AI agents a pre-indexed semantic knowledge graph instead of letting them grep their way through your codebase like tourists. Fewer tokens, fewer tool calls, 100% local.
Built with an AI agent, to stop AI agents from wasting money. The snake eats its own tail and invoices you less for it.

Converts images to Unicode true-color ANSI art for terminal display, so your logo can live where you do: in a terminal.
Finally, a way to put marketing assets where they belong — 40 columns wide, blinking softly.
Mar 2026
A retro CRT power-off animation for the terminal, inspired by Android's ElectronBeam: the screen collapses vertically with RGB chromatic aberration, shrinks to a bright scanline, then fades to a single phosphor dot.
Zero practical value, maximum dopamine. The most honest software on this page.
Mar 2026
A Mini-Pascal IDE and compiler in the terminal: most of Wirth's 1973 Pascal Report, LLVM codegen with full DWARF debug info, and an embedded lldb for stepping — all wrapped in the Turbo Vision framework above, naturally.
Turbo Pascal walked so this could... also walk, but with a borrow checker watching.

A pixel-perfect Rust port of the mermaid.js diagram renderers. Byte-identical SVG output, no headless browser, no Node, no waiting.
The official renderer boots an entire Chromium to draw a flowchart. Sebastian just draws the flowchart.
Jun 2026
An MCP server that hands an AI assistant a full Atari 2600 debugger: breakpoints, single-stepping, TIA/RIOT chip state, disassembly, even DWARF source-level debugging of ARM-coprocessor homebrew.
Because if an AI is going to debug something, it might as well be a console from 1977 with 128 bytes of RAM. Know your roots.
Jul 2026
An interactive terminal coding agent that runs DeepSeek V4 Flash entirely locally on macOS via Metal — Ratatui TUI, full tool suite, MCP support, persistent sessions. Ported module-by-module from a C reference engine into idiomatic Rust.
A coding agent, written with a coding agent, so there's a spare coding agent when the internet is down. Redundancy is a virtue.

You can probably write better code. But all of these projects are alive and functional, built in less time than a human would need to finish half of the simplest one.
