What's in the toolchain.

Editor + dev

• Antigravity

  Primary editor. Not Cursor, the agentic loop is enough of a productivity multiplier that paying twice for the same surface isn't worth it.

• Claude Code

  Long-form work, multi-file refactors, plan-mode reviews, and the auto-memory loop the personal-ops repo is built around.

• PowerShell on Windows 11

  Primary shell. Bash is available via the Bash tool for POSIX scripts; PowerShell handles everything Windows-side.

• Git + GitHub

  Everything (work + personal) sits in private repos on github.com/pavlopuzikov. House Call, the portfolio, personal-ops, and the Knowledge Web vault all version-controlled.

Applied AI + 3D pipeline

Not a list of things tried once.

• Cloudflare Workers AI, llava-1.5-7b

  Vision provider for AriOS capture. Local models (llava, moondream, qwen2.5vl) were unviable on the Dell CPU: vision-token tokenisation, not generation, dominates prompt-eval. Cloudflare runs llava on GPU, 10-15 s warm, free tier covers 10k req/day. Only the photo bytes leave the device; the vault stays local.

• Ollama, llama3.2:3b

  Local text model for AriOS's classifier + vault-RAG /ask path. Heuristic runs first (under 50 ms) and the LLM only fires when the daemon is responsive AND the heuristic is unsure, inverts the failure mode so most ingests are fast and rare ones are smart.

• gsplat

  CUDA-native 3DGS reference implementation. The path the benchmark settled on for training-side comparisons.

• PostShot + XGRIDS LCC

  Capture cleanup. The LCC scanner is the source of the controlled raw-vs-cleaned comparisons in the academic write-up.

• ComfyUI / Sora / Higgsfield / Nano Banana / Veo3

  Generative video and image stack for Bonya Studio editorial work. Mixed open-weights + cloud APIs depending on the brief.

• Cesium

  Georeferenced base layer for Atlas + the Splat Viewer city-scale overlay. Handles the building-on-Earth coordinate handshake.

Vault, capture + notifications

• Obsidian (Knowledge Web vault)

  Plaintext-on-disk note system. Source of truth for AriOS captures, House Call reading prep, project planning, and the auto-memory the AI loop reads / writes.

• ntfy.sh

  Push notifications for AriOS captures + daily reminder daemon (diary at 21:30, movement check-in at 19:00). Topic URL is treated as a secret.

• Tailscale

  Phone-to-laptop reachability for the AriOS PWA capture surface. Encrypted P2P, free for personal use.

• Health Auto Export

  iOS app that watches HealthKit for new Gymshark workouts and POSTs them to AriOS's /workout webhook. Lands as a block under ## Workouts in the daily note.

Shipping

• Next.js + Vercel

  pavlopuzikov.com (this site) and House Call both ship from Vercel. House Call runs in the fra1 region (GDPR); this site on the default global edge.

• Turso (libSQL)

  Edge-distributed SQLite for House Call's per-user data plane. Paired with the @prisma/adapter-libsql stack pinned in CLAUDE.md.

• Sentry + Vercel Speed Insights

  Error tracking + real-user CWV on the portfolio. Both no-op when env vars are absent so dev / preview deploys don't generate noise.

Deliberately not used

Choices easier to defend by what they exclude.

• Semrush

  Cancelled. The AEO / GEO surface (AI-answer-engine visibility) is what matters now; legacy SEO tooling didn't earn its keep against the in-portal research workspace.

• Cursor

  Antigravity covers the agentic-editor slot. Carrying two editors with overlapping loops isn't a portfolio of taste, it's just two subscriptions.

• MacBook Pro

  Specifically not. The 4090 workstation does GPU work no laptop matches at this price, and the Dell handles the rest. No budget for hardware that doesn't move the needle.
