Toad Tech

Public evidence board for things Calvin built, ran, repaired, and refused to leave alone. Web apps, self-hosted services, robotics work, local AI tools, and weekend utilities with fingerprints still on them.

Stuff that survived the tinkering phase.

Real builds from the bench, sorted by what they do rather than dressed up as metrics. Open any evidence card for the problem, approach, and lessons behind it.

Started with HTML. Got out of hand.

I'm a 18-year-old developer and tinkerer. I started making simple HTML pages on my dad's computer when I was six. Now the same habit shows up as web apps, self-hosted services, robotics projects, and AI utilities.

The pattern is pretty simple: figure out how the thing works, then wire it into something useful. Sometimes that becomes a dashboard. Sometimes it becomes a robot. Sometimes it becomes a daemon quietly doing its job in the background.

What I usually end up building.

Interfaces

Dashboards, control panels, one-file pages, and school or community sites.

Automation

Scripts, home-lab glue, background services, and repetitive parts wired shut.

Infrastructure

Self-hosting, remote command flows, servers, deployments, and process control.

Hardware

Robotics, controls, sensors, wiring, and mechanical iteration.

Got a weird problem?

If it needs a small interface, daemon, self-hosted tool, or weekend prototype, send the messy version first.
