Projects

Orange Wordsorangewords.comOrange Words is a hacker news search application. It's a small hobby project, where I tinker with the combination of hacker news data, search, rag, and machine learning. (Dec 2023 - today)

minimal-agent-coregithub.com/codycollier/minimal-agent-coreAn illustration of the small inner core of a function-calling agent using the OpenAI Responses API. A simple agent that can hold a conversation and provide random colors or numbers—the core loop in just a few hundred lines of Python.

NTX ARTnorthtexas.artA hub for the North Texas Arts community. I leverage automation and LLMs to gather and process event data from various sites. It also automatically generates social media cards and captions for posting to Instagram as reminders for local artists.

telnet.orgtelnet.org/historySomewhere around 1998, I stumbled on the expired telnet.org domain and was able to register it. I had nothing to do with the development of telnet, but this was an exciting era when I was learning Linux and related tech. Telnet was still in common use as server and client software. I've run the site and hosted shell accounts ever since, mostly out of nostalgia. (~1998 - today)

The Garza Postgarzapost.comFor a time, with amazing partners, I helped run a local, digital newspaper for Post, Texas and Garza County. The site was built on Django and related tech. It is now preserved as a basic html archive. (Summer 2011 through Winter 2012)

One way to reason about applied LLMs (and agents), is to think of them as bridges between natural language and structured data and interfaces.
