Maker who can't stop building things.
Day job: Facilities caretaker at Pharmagenesis
Real job: Whatever I'm obsessed with that week
3D printing, robotics, simulations, dev tools, AI systems - if it gets stuck in my head, I build it. Usually fast.
I live with dyslexia, depression, and anxiety. Was told I couldn't learn. Spent my life proving that wrong - one discipline at a time.
My mind runs at 100mph, so I document everything in detailed READMEs. Some projects are finished. Some are waiting for me to circle back. All of them are built in the margins: 1.5 hours before work, 7 hours after.
30-year dental decay simulator. Built in 2h 16m. Shows exactly when teeth need attention.
HTML JavaScript Exponential Decay Healthcare
Motivation tracker for ADHD builders. Because motivation isn't infinite - it's exponential.
HTML JavaScript Productivity Mental Health
The core idea: Emergence and decay follow predictable patterns across every domain - from cells to code to motivation.
I've spent 8 years validating this through three distinct applications:
Watch complex systems emerge from simple rules:
- MoneyForge - Economic systems from barter
- LinguaForge - Language evolution (57KB peer-review-ready)
- LifeForge - Cellular development
- Primordial - Evolutionary art engine
- 35+ more simulations demonstrating universal patterns
Same math, different industries. Exponential decay modeling for:
- Healthcare: ToothForge, DopeDecay
- Automotive: TyreForge (tread wear prediction)
- Pharma: TrialForge (patient retention)
- Industrial: ServoForge (predictive maintenance)
- Cybersecurity: CyberForge (breach probability)
- Finance: FireForge (FIRE retirement calculator)
- Sales: LeadForge (conversion decay)
- Sustainability: CarbonForge + EmissionsForge
- Plus: ScopeGuard, CaffeineForge, Motor-Forge, Supply-Forge, O-Licence Guard, and more
The robots that prove emergence works in atoms, not just bits:
- Project Jumbo - 8-year robot evolution, 100+ generations, emergent language
- EMBER - Self-balancing robot with phototropic behavior
- Johnny 5 - Advanced multi-brain robotics platform
- G.I.S.M.O. - Autonomous wanderer
- Golem-Forge - 1.2m³ 3D printer
STL-to-LEGO converter. 8 production studios, 60-76% code reduction through unified architecture.
Python JavaScript 3D Processing Vite
Smart caffeine response calculator with pharmacokinetic modeling.
HTML JavaScript Biochemistry
Genetic algorithm music generator. Evolution meets composition.
JavaScript Audio Genetic Algorithms
Music hit potential analyzer. Pattern recognition for songwriting.
JavaScript Audio Processing ML
Env validation was annoying me. Built this in 2 days. 2KB, zero dependencies, published to npm.
JavaScript Node.js npm
Centralized README aggregator. Stop navigating, start knowing.
Python Documentation CLI
AI-powered secret scanner for codebases. Find hardcoded credentials before they leak.
Python Security AI
Automated security documentation generator. MIT compliance made simple.
Python Security CLI
Production-ready authentication backend. JWT, email verification, password reset - drop-in solution.
Node.js Express MongoDB Security
Hackable game engine where modding IS the game. Sovereign software in action.
JavaScript Game Dev Modular Systems
Virtual pet simulator combining Tamagotchi nostalgia with modern web tech.
JavaScript Game Dev Browser
Modular AI assistant built from scratch. Self-improving, skill-based architecture.
Python AI Modular Design
AI-powered dev tool that translates intent into code. Natural language to implementation.
JavaScript AI Developer Tools
Autonomous AI that designs and trains its own successors. Meta-learning framework.
Python AI Meta-Learning
All hardware projects come with full build documentation:
- Johnny 5 Codex - Advanced robotics build guide
- G.I.S.M.O. - Autonomous robot starter kit
- EMBER - Self-balancing robot documentation
Premium roadmaps available at jamesthegiblet.co.uk
If you look at my repos, you'll notice:
- Fast execution - ToothForge: 2h 16m. DopeDecay: same day. lightweight-env-validator: 2 days
- Cross-domain thinking - Same framework works for teeth, tyres, motivation, and robots
- Accessible by design - No gatekeeping, clear docs, modular architecture
- Build what matters - If something's needlessly complicated, I'll take a swing at it
- Document everything - Because I had to learn the hard way
8-year magnum opus. Physical robots that evolved through 100+ generations, developed emergent language (28 unique signals), and showed personality divergence from identical code. This is PhD-level work without the paperwork.
Evolutionary art engine using genetic algorithms and multi-objective optimization. Watch beauty emerge from mathematical selection pressure.
Models the emergence of money from barter economies. Demonstrates how collective fiction (currency) emerges from practical need. Philosophical depth meets executable simulation.

"I build what I want. People play games, I make stuff."
Built in the margins. Documented for posterity. Validated through obsession.
