Software engineer · Oakland, California

James Abdy

I’m a software engineer at Meta, working in Integrity. Outside work, I make personal apps for tracking things, organizing information, and occasionally solving a problem I could probably have left alone.

This site is a collection of those projects, along with older machine learning experiments and technical write-ups. Recent projects are mostly tools for everyday use: health, fitness, finances, travel, and a few other interests.

These days AI does much of the coding. I’m mostly deciding what I want the apps to do and trying them out. The newer articles are AI-generated too, and labeled accordingly.

Recent apps are followed by older projects and technical articles. Most of the newer apps are personal tools with private source code; each write-up explains what the app does and gives a brief overview of the stack.
