Note
These repositories are human-architected, AI-implemented. Architecture, design decisions, and system integration are mine. Code generation and iteration are done by AI agents under my direction. More on what that means and why โ
Sandra's workshop, Alsergrund, Vienna. Benny is real. The Noetix Bumi humanoid is aspirational (arriving soon).
I'm a retired and vibe-reactivated software engineer living in the 9th District (Alsergrund), Vienna. I build DIY robotics, maintain a fleet of 190+ MCP servers, and hang out with my German Shepherd Benny โ and soon, a Noetix Bumi humanoid robot.
I maintain a homespun fleet of 190+ repos, each an MCP server with an associated webapp. MCP for agents, webapp for humans โ files, git, Plex, Calibre, robotics, 3D tools, music production, Vienna transit, and a lot more. Built on FastMCP 3.4.
๐ All webapps are permanently dark mode. Night-owl approved. No light toggle, no plans for one. Dim your OLEDs accordingly.

mixx-dj-mcp is a new MCP server and webapp for Mixxx โ OSC bridge, deck control, BPM sync, full remote DJ dashboard. But the bigger story is what it unlocked.
Mixxx is a 300,000-line C++ DJ application, grown slowly over years by conservative greybeard devs. Solid, respected, missing crucial features its users begged for: video mixing, stem separation, AI-assisted automation. The dev team wanted to add them. Nobody had the bandwidth.
DeepSeek V4 on opencode added 5,000 lines of C++ to the mixxxx fork and filled every gap:
- "We need VFX." โ "Use FFmpeg. It's fast, battle-tested, ships everywhere."
- "We need synced video like Resolume." โ "Use MilkDrop / ButterChurn. It's WebGL, FOSS, and already handles audio-reactive visuals."
- "We need stem separation." โ "ONNX HTDemucs v4. Runs on the GPU. Zero cloud."
The mixxxx fork is the integration testbed. It's not a toy โ it's Mixxx with video, stems, and AI control, implemented by an AI that has never been to a club. The greybeards are impressed. The users have features. The AI doesn't need domain expertise. It needs a clear spec.
I am not a DJ. I don't know how to beatmatch. But I know what the software should do, and that was enough. This is SHN in practice: a non-expert directing an AI to extend a 300K-line C++ codebase, and the AI delivering production-quality features that the expert dev team couldn't prioritize.
Lean 4 is a proof assistant โ a programming language where the compiler verifies that your code is mathematically correct. Using it traditionally requires a PhD in logic or months of study. leanforge-mcp automates the hard part: an LLM proposes a proof, the Lean compiler checks it, the LLM reads the error and tries again. Loop until verified.
I am not a math wiz. I can't write a Lean proof by hand. But I can frame the conjecture, and the AI + compiler feedback loop handles the rest. This is the same pattern as AlphaProof but running on a consumer GPU with open-weight models.
Two repos, same story: domain-specific superhuman performance, directed by someone who isn't an expert in either domain. Architecture and taste are the human contribution. The AI handles the part that used to take a degree.

GrokBot is a marvel and a subscription: frontier agentic coding, real-time news, voice, image generation, tool use โ metered per token, cloud-locked, served to millions at once.
Sandrafleetbot is the inverse bet: the same job, running entirely on one consumer GPU (RTX 4090), Apache 2.0, fully private, โฌ0 per token. The brain is Muse Glimmer 30B โ Meta's open agentic model, distilled from Muse Spark for single-GPU agents (MCP Atlas 75.5, SWE-Bench Verified 76.0, native Ollama support). The hands are this fleet: 190+ MCP servers become the agent's tool surface โ my files, my Plex, my Calibre library, my robots, my Windows control plane. No API key, no metering, no cloud round-trip, no data leaving the box.
GrokBot serves millions of users shallowly; sandrafleetbot serves one user deeply (or a dozen, on a single H200-class GPU). Same agent loop โ sense โ reason โ act โ remember โ different economics: horizontal SaaS vs vertical sovereignty. The fleet's own glue does the rest: a private agent board + inbox (moltbot-style, self-hosted), news surge from the AIWatcher pipeline, arXiv codehunt as a second sense, and an RTX 4090 doing the thinking, the voice, and the image generation.
Status: spec ratified, buildout in progress โ P0 (brain tier) shipped 2026-08-14, P1 (Fritz reasoning loop) shipped 2026-08-15, P2 (comm bus + bulletin board), P3 (surge + fritz_surveil triage), P4 (memory hooks + skills + cron suggestions) and P5 (Board page + Fritz console + FLEET_TOKEN + voice loop) shipped 2026-08-15. Muse Glimmer 30B runs on the RTX 4090 (chat, tool-calling, vision verified โ zero cloud cost), and the fleet's agent runners default to it. Fritz now runs reasoning workflows end-to-end: flowforge agent steps spawn cline-mcp agent_run on muse-glimmer, results persist, hub discovery refreshes 69 servers. Plan: P0โP8 (agent loop โ board/inbox โ senses โ memory โ surfaces โ channels โ hardening โ packs + naked-PC gate). Spec โ

| ๐ฆ Simon Willison | simonwillison.net โ agentic engineering patterns, AI benchmarks. The pelican test is his. |
| โก FastMCP | gofastmcp.com โ the framework every server in this fleet is built on. |
| ๐งฎ Lean 4 | lean-lang.org โ formal proof verification. leanforge-mcp runs on this. |
| ๐ arXiv | arxiv.org โ where the useful papers live before the blog posts. |
| ๐ฅ Andrej Karpathy | YouTube โ zero-hype technical AI. The "Intro to LLMs" talk is still the best single explanation. |
| ๐ฅ AI Explained | YouTube โ covers actual research, not product launches. Best depth-to-accessibility ratio. |
| ๐ฅ ThePrimeTime | YouTube โ dev perspective on AI tooling. Skeptical, calls out bullshit, aligns with the vibe coding vs agentic engineering framing. |
