Projects

In my projects you'll find an eclectic span of interests, but I've highlighted some of my personal favorites which I believe provide some novel utility to the world.

Claude Timeline

Claude Timeline is a great project management tool for Claude Code if you use Tmux. Timeline allows for functionality not currently available in Claude Code: forking conversations, merging one conversation with the context compaction from another, and easy naming and storage/retrieval of Claude Code sessions.

OPUS-OS

Opus-OS is an autopoietic (self-organizing) system that I built for my home Mac Mini server. My intent is for it to act as a seamless layer between you and your choice of AI assistant. Hopefully you'll find that it can be better than anything a model provider can provide you as it has full read and write access to Apple icloud so that it send you messages in iMessage, or maybe put in a calendar entry for you to see. It also has access to custom software that you've built together or asked it to write by itself. In fact, being that it reflects about your interactions while not in use, it may surprise you with a useful or fun piece of software that it can share to you via any accessible published website -- mine will share things with me through this website mkleyn.com infact. To me this is the future of how AI will work, not through a web portal where you keep all of your data accessible for enternity to some 3rd party, but secure in your local computer or personal server.

Novel Cell Type for Cancer Diagnosis Prediction

My project w/ Professor Tao He at her lab in UCSF and SFSU. This project was made possible by funding given by the National Science Foundation's LEAPS award. The project aimed to explore various machine learning methods for predicting cell types using novel TCR data to expedite cancer diagnoses. During the project, I had the opportunity to train multiple statistical models using modern machine learning techniques.

Friends Against S.A.D.

Friends Against S.A.D. is my electronic music project. One of the things that pushed me down a path of studying math and machine learning was music, especially electronic music. Friends Against SAD is where I get to write songs, experiment with digital audio processing tools that I've created and also as an excuse to have fun weekends DJing. I hope you enjoy the music :)

Order Without Design Podcast by Devon Zuegel

I followed Devon on twitter for a long time, and I remember one day she'd posted that she was looking for some help setting up her studios microphones. Given my background in audio I reached out to her. One thing led to another and I eventually ended up mixing and editing 4 episodes of the Order Without Design podcast. Unfortunately, I couldn't continue due to school however I did enjoy my time getting to work with Devon as well as listening to her fantastic conversations with Marie-Agnes and Alain Bertaud!
