I build things with AI. Sometimes I even finish them.
I’m Nick. By day I work on enterprise maintenance software, the systems utilities, mines and hospitals use to plan repairs on their assets. The rest of the time I build my own tools with AI and track my health in more detail than any GP has asked for.
Interests
What I’m into
Current obsessions, roughly in order of how much sleep they cost me.
-
AI for actual work
I use Claude, Gemini and NotebookLM every day, at work and at home. Claude Code helped build this site.
-
Vibecoding
Building apps by describing them to an AI and fixing what comes back. Things that used to take me months now take a few weekends. EAM Buddy started as a Saturday hack.
-
Biohacking
Oura Ring, Apple Watch, quarterly bloodwork and genetic testing. I’ve handed the lot to AI to look for patterns I’d never spot on my own.
-
Self-hosting
A Proxmox box running seven-plus virtual machines: Home Assistant, Frigate cameras, a media stack and my own AI assistant. Yes, it’s self-aware. (Mostly kidding.)
EAM Buddy
Setting up a convincing demo of enterprise maintenance software used to mean hours of clicking through screens. With EAM Buddy you describe the demo in plain English and it builds the data through the system’s REST APIs.
I built it for myself over a weekend. Colleagues around the world use it now.

Also on the bench
- Health Dashboard Building
Blood test PDFs in, biomarker trends out.
- CUE Building
A personal CRM for someone bad at keeping in touch.
- IronStack Building
A workout tracker that only does what I need.
- Homelab Running
Home automation, cameras and AI on one small box.
Work
What I do for work
Outside the day job I run a small business called Chote Works. Its main product is Site Front: fast websites for trades and local businesses, with an AI assistant that answers customer questions and takes enquiries.
I also take on AI and systems work there, including consulting, system design and automation.
