Connor's Quests

2026

A Telegram Mini App that turns a 14-year-old's real goals — training, focus, business skills, school — into a gamified quest system, complete with AI coaches and a real-money chore economy.

A Telegram Mini App that meets a mega-gamer where he already is: a gamified quest system with AI 'coach' buddies designed to build real-world self-efficacy, plus a real-money chore economy from Mom.

Anatomy of Toxic Achievement — Interactive

Anatomy of Toxic Achievement — Interactive

2026

I took a NotebookLM-generated infographic on anxious overachievement and built an interactive data-exploration layer on top of it — 8 clickable hotspot zones, a full pan/zoom engine, glassy tooltip reveals, and a split-panel detail view — all in a single self-contained HTML file with no framework, no build pipeline, and no external JS. Deployed to Cloudflare Pages the same night it was built.

Hermes — Production VPS Runtime for Always-On AI Assistant

2026

Hermes is a self-managed Linux VPS (Hostinger KVM, Singapore) that runs "Donna" — a persistent AI assistant — as a 24/7 Telegram agent. The stack uses Docker containers, a NousResearch Hermes Agent gateway, multi-model LLM routing via LiteLLM and OpenRouter, system cron for daily briefings and data-sync triggers, and Tailscale for zero-public-surface SSH access. A forensic cost audit, architectural decision process (including an Opus-arbitrated head-to-head comparison against an alternative runtime), and a multi-phase hardening plan are all documented in the project vault.

ClaudeClaw — Persistent Agentic AI Runtime on Private VPS

2026

Deployed ClaudeClaw OS (earlyaidopters/claudeclaw-os v1.1.0) on a Hostinger KVM 2 VPS running Ubuntu, turning Claude Code CLI into a persistent background service reachable via Telegram and a local dashboard API. Designed the security cage, secrets management, vault sync architecture, and the reverse HTTP channel that lets other systems (GLOS, cron jobs) programmatically hand facts to the agent and receive Donna-voiced responses — without the calling system ever touching a public LLM API.
