see allnegosyonav // a taglish co-pilot for philippine business registration.
1st place · innolympics 2026. 77% of filipino micro-enterprises stay informal because registering means five agencies, a dozen documents, and english-only pdfs. negosyonav turns that into a taglish chat: gemini extracts a business profile from code-switched filipino, generates a five-step roadmap for manila city, auto-fills the real government forms with document ai and pdf-lib, and matches the user to grants worth up to ₱1m.
latch // a mac notch control surface for supervising ai coding agents.
closed beta. an attention and authorization layer that lives in the macbook notch. approvals, blocking questions, failures, and completions from codex, claude code, cursor, copilot, and kimi land in one ambient queue you resolve in a single action. a native swiftui/appkit app owns the state; a tiny signed hook forwarder relays each tool's hooks over a local unix socket and falls back to the source tool if the app is down. local-first, nothing leaves the machine.
local brain // a personal knowledge base that reads, indexes, and answers, entirely offline.
file-watching ingestion, search, and chat agents under custom orchestration, over a full rag pipeline: automatic document ingestion, chromadb embeddings, semantic retrieval, and ollama for local inference. nothing leaves the machine.
ph pulse // philippine socioeconomic data made queryable, pipeline to warehouse to insight.
python ingestion pipelines, dbt transformations, bigquery as the warehouse, and gemini-powered insights on top. the whole path from raw source to answered question, built as one system.

building latch, and why the hook forwarder is the most important part of it.

- deep in the agentic-coding rabbit hole: latch and local brain both crawled out of it.
- lifting, running, and gaming: competitive when i want to sweat, story-driven when i don't.
- automating my own life with agents and shipping app ideas nobody asked for.
