Automation & Engineering
Systems built for the field.
Independent practice for network infrastructure, spatial computing, and applied AI — with the tools used to specify, build, and run them.
01 — Infrastructure
Live networks
Rack layout, telemetry, and weather systems for rooms that have to stay up.
02 — Spatial systems
Rooms and tracking
VR audio beds, headset catalogs, and the platforms those rooms run on.
03 — Applied AI
Local intelligence
Open-weight models, project cores, and side-by-side evaluation you can run yourself.
04 — Studio tools
Bench software
Image pipelines, file systems, and the utilities used on the workbench.
The practice
Specify the system. Build the tool. Publish the notes.
EngineerIsaac is an independent engineering practice. The work covers the networks behind live rooms, the spatial systems inside them, and the AI that runs on hardware you own.
Specify
Measure the rack, the room, and the model before anything ships.
Build
Ship working software and hardware notes, not slide decks.
Publish
Field notes, catalogs, and downloads stay public as the work lands.
Interactive Lab
Tools from the bench
Each one is used on real jobs, then published here. Open a tool, or take the installer with you.
Weather Radar
Radar and satellite with cached last-good frames when NOAA drops.
Rack Builder
42U layout for routers, switches, servers, and UPS gear.
Tab Explorer
Tabbed dual-pane file explorer with pins and fast search.
Aecii Image Browser
Native Windows browser for ComfyUI workflows.
Warehouse 5.1
VRChat ARC room processor: line arrays plus warehouse echo over OMT.
LLM Core Builder
Root markdown that gives a project its skeletal system.
AI Constructs
Open-weight GGUF catalog for local runtimes.
AI Score
ChatGPT and Grok freedom scores, mapped side by side.
VR Hardware
Headsets, controllers, and trackers with current specs and prices.
VR Social Platforms
Stacked comparison of VRChat, Resonite, ChilloutVR, and the field.
