Project Valence

Complete
Progress 100%

Current: Complete

An interactive "Periodic Table of Programming Languages" visualization mapping 38 languages on a grid where position encodes properties. Languages are scored across six dimensions (abstraction level, domain breadth, ecosystem maturity, learning curve, industry adoption, momentum) and plotted using Plotly with hover cards showing full profiles. Includes analysis services for grouping by domain/era/paradigm, quadrant analysis, lineage trees, and composite scoring. Exports to interactive HTML, PNG, SVG, CSV, and JSON with full summary statistics. To view the visualization, open this in your browser: F:\code\valence\output\periodic_table.html

Project Pathfinder

Progress 0%

Current: Concept & Planning

A fundamentally simplified learning management system designed to be domain-agnostic and highly customizable. Enables structured course creation across any subject (AI for small businesses, photography, etc.) with clean lesson progression and checkpoint tracking. Built as a deliberate counterpoint to bloated LMS platforms, focusing on three core concepts: courses, lessons, and progress. Markdown-based content authoring keeps things portable and simple.

Project Prism

Active
Progress 90%

Current: Production — Live & Monitoring

Automated AI news intelligence pipeline running on N8N Cloud. Every Sunday at 8AM ET, a scheduled workflow calls the Claude API with web search to research and synthesize the week's AI developments into a core report (~2,000–3,500 words). That report is then refracted through four audience-calibrated tiers via sequential Haiku 4.5 API calls: Preview (ultra-brief highlights), Beginner (5th–8th grade level), Intermediate (technical professionals), and Advanced (researchers & engineers). The final output is formatted with cost metadata, converted to HTML, and emailed via Gmail. Named for the optical metaphor: one stream of raw information enters, refracts into a spectrum of distinct outputs. Produces the weekly "AI Intelligence Briefing" for Polaris Technology followers. Runtime ~5–10 min, ~$0.60–1.50 per run.
