Uses

The tools behind the work.

Hardware, software, and workflow for building edge systems across energy, autonomy, aerospace, robotics, and AI-worker substrates. This page is rebuilt when the stack changes, not every quarter for show.

Compute

MacBook Pro M-series

Primary dev machine. Local Rust + TypeScript + LLM work all run cleanly here.

Windows workstation

Secondary box for KiCad, Altium, and Windows-only EDA tools. Also the master-docs vault host.

Bench Pi cluster (CM4 + RPi 5)

Used for Valeon Chimera Tier 1 default + JouleBridge field-runtime experiments.

Languages & runtimes

Rust

JouleBridge Bridge Kernel, hot paths in Valeon. Tokio for async, no spaghetti.

TypeScript + Next.js 16

Web surface (this site, joulebridge.com, valeon.systems).

Python

Parallax, robotics work, Vishwa sidecar, anything with a numerical stack.

C / C++ / Embedded

CubeSat firmware, Wabtec controls heritage, AUAV-X05 design files.

KiCad 8+ headless

Target stack for Ferrite. Altium for legacy AUAV-X05 work.

AI tooling

Claude Code (Opus 4.x)

Primary engineering collaborator. This portfolio was rebuilt in part with it.

Local Hermes-3 via Ollama

Offline backup for cognitive work where API latency or privacy matters.

LangGraph + pydantic-ai + LiteLLM

Parallax substrate after Hermes retirement 2026-05-03.

MCP servers

Custom MemPalace for cross-session memory; obsidian-cli for vault ops.

EDA & hardware

Altium Designer

AUAV-X05 schematic + PCB. Heritage tool from CubeSat work.

KiCad 8+

Current default for new boards. Required for Ferrite headless automation.

FreeRouting

Bulk autorouting layer in the Ferrite pipeline.

ngspice / openEMS / Elmer FEM

Simulation in-loop for Ferrite. SI/PI, RF, thermal.

Editor & workflow

Cursor + Claude Code CLI

Daily editor pair. Claude Code for autonomous tasks, Cursor for inline edits.

Obsidian + master-docs vault

Single source of truth for company brains, decisions, and engineering notes.

Git everywhere

Including the KiCad project files in Ferrite. The board is a versioned object.

Monitoring & dashboards

Custom Rich CLI panels

Parallax terminal target. Minimalist, production-ready, better than Bloomberg-the-bloated-IDE.

Bridge Kernel evidence viewer

JouleBridge - signed receipts, chain head, policy decisions.
