A local-first knowledge base that reads my notes, repos and PDFs, summarizes them with local LLMs, and injects the right memory into my coding sessions. Every injection is scored against what actually helped; a nightly job re-tunes retrieval on its own branch, never silently. 323 sources, 1294 topic pages, 268 tests, one 6 GB GPU. Open source as §10, the data stays home. Full case study: https://sashavergolini.com/work/s10.md
The rendering engine behind digital product passports for fashion: QR microsites and on-page widgets for 35+ production brands, major Italian luxury and denim labels among them. One config-driven master template, 40+ reusable modules, single-source color, a live preview API. A brand went from roughly 1,000 lines of bespoke code to about 100 lines of config, and from days of setup to one or two. Built during my year at Renoon.
