Welcome to the IAMGREATER lab. Exploring agentic AI swarms, sovereign local computing on Linux, custom desktop orchestration, and building ideas into reality before the inspiration fades.
Real-world applications, agentic workflows, and system utilities built with AI pair programming.
Lightning-fast edge gesture launcher for Android, inspired by the spirit of Linux EasyStroke and the sovereign XDA Developers custom ROM era. Launch favorite apps, tools & system shortcuts from any screen border with a single thumb-glide. Zero permissions, zero tracking, pure speed.
Interactive 3D geometry engine built for Functional Skills and GCSE Mathematics learners. Allows students to fold, unfold, rotate, and manipulate 3D shapes from their 2D nets in real-time right inside any browser. Zero install, installable PWA for all phones and tablets.
Sovereign desktop automation harness for Arch Linux and Hyprland. Zero-touch backup, seamless restore, and dynamic desktop intelligence.
Hybrid local-first AI system. High-level architect models collaborate with locally-hosted Qwen 2.5 Coder 14B on GPU for instant bash execution and token conservation.
Experimental generative music and audio pipeline utilizing ComfyUI, neural stem separation, and algorithmic song arrangement.
Automated diagnostic grading for Pearson Edexcel Functional Skills English & Maths. Dual-column comparative feedback generator and dyslexia-friendly output.
Personal homelab ecosystem powered by ZimaOS, CasaOS containers, encrypted Nextcloud sync, and Cloudflare Zero Trust tunneling.
Production web applications crafted entirely through prompt-to-production vibe workflows. 100/100 Lighthouse performance, ultra-low carbon footprint.
From MS-DOS text-mode databases to autonomous AI swarms: the journey behind IAMGREATER.
Learned to code in Borland Turbo Pascal 7.0 on MS-DOS. Built a custom relational database to catalogue an extensive physical CD collection—manually wrangling pointers, records, binary file I/O, and blue-and-yellow text-mode interfaces.
Studied computer science fundamentals and early Java (JDK 1.1 / Swing applets) at university. Absorbed core object-oriented principles and system design before dropping out two years later to pursue an unconventional, self-directed path in education, language, and clinical communication.
Deep dive into open source and hardware sovereignty. Flashing nightly custom ROMs on XDA Developers, running Kubuntu on X11, and obsessing over gesture-based productivity with EasyStroke. That ethos of frictionless gesture control and de-bloated mobile software directly inspired QuickDraw Launcher.
Thirty years later, the friction of syntax has vanished. With agentic AI (Google Antigravity & local Qwen 14B) as pair-programming architects, building ideas into production happens in hours—from QuickDraw Launcher in Kotlin Compose to sovereign Linux dotfiles and custom pedagogy engines.
The high-leverage tools, hardware, and runtime environments powering our experiments.
Antigravity 2.0 CLI, Gemini Flash/Pro, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Local Qwen 2.5 Coder 14B, Ollama, Llama 3.
Arch Linux on 'DarkNight', Hyprland Wayland compositor, Kitty/Foot terminals, Fish/Bash orchestration.
ZimaOS appliance on local network, Docker containers, Caddy reverse proxy, NVMe storage pools.
Cloudflare Zero Trust Tunnels, Tailscale Mesh VPN, Nextcloud end-to-end encrypted sync, WireGuard.
Reflections from the cutting edge of AI-human collaboration.
Vibe coding is not about being sloppy or careless; it is about eliminating friction between the human creative impulse and working software. When you operate with AI agents as an architectural partner, syntax becomes secondary to vision, constraints, and iteration velocity.
Depending 100% on external APIs is a vulnerability. The ultimate developer setup is a hybrid: local open weights (like Qwen 14B on your local GPU or ZimaOS) handling raw crunch and offline operations, with frontier models acting as high-level consultants.
Modern websites shouldn't require 40MB of bloated JavaScript or mega-datacenter servers running on coal. By building static, pure-semantic JAMstack sites hosted on renewable-powered providers or your own hardware, the web remains fast, open, and sustainable.
In 1996, hacking Turbo Pascal on a flickering CRT screen felt like absolute wizardry—you were breathing life into raw silicon byte by byte. Thirty years after building that CD database and exploring early Java, vibe coding with autonomous agents rekindles that exact childlike thrill. The gatekeeping is gone; only your imagination and taste remain.
