Hi, I'm Saxon, I'm a professional software developer in New York City. Below is a list of writing and personal software projects. If you're interested in software, AI, the future of our profession, tennis, or anything else, I'd love to hear from you.

Rhidoc

A filesystem-based knowledge graph with a robust, agent-first CLI. Lightweight and flexible, I use Rhidoc in all of my projects to make spec-driven development persistent, and to design concepts and terminology before AI makes poor choices for me. (It also helps coordinate knowledge in a small team setting!)

FreeAndOpenCell

I wanted to play FreeCell on my phone, but all of the websites for it were bloated. This is a lightweight implementation that doesn't spy on you, and it also works well on vertical screens.
