My company is , check it out. I also had alot of fun putting together this really cool interactive Status page for every running service Zelesis has, you can spin the globe around and look at all the graphs and uptime stats.

Here's some live updating graphs to show the userbase of my software at Zelesis: (All Time | Last Month)

I'm additionally part owner in , an AI powered geolocation service (our AI is a model we trained with data we gathered ourselves, not an LLM or slop like that) that figures out where any photo was taken just from the image itself, no GPS, no EXIF, no metadata, just whatever's visible in the picture. Upload a photo and it pinpoints the exact location, and it works pretty much anywhere on earth. Random photo of some town in australia and it gets the exact address. I also released a Python wrapper for the API, pygeoaxis, so you can hit it programmatically.

Python packages

I've been actively developing my Python package for over 3 years. The main goal of this package is to keep as much helpful functionality in one place as possible, a python toolbox filled with utilities that can take a 300 line script to 30, I personally use it in practically 100% of the Python scripts I write.

Some of my other Python packages I've released along the way:

• , Rust-backed DXGI Desktop Duplication screen capture for Windows. Same idea as bettercam but the AcquireNextFrame loop runs in native Rust with the GIL released, so it actually rides the compositor refresh instead of stalling at ~140 fps. Ships a single abi3 wheel that covers Python 3.9 through 3.13+. Available on PyPI as both rustcam and the shorter bestcam.

• , real in-memory ZPAQ compression bindings for Python. Up to 6× faster than the official zpaq.exe CLI thanks to multi-threaded compress + decompress, JIT, libsais, and AVX2; ships prebuilt wheels for Win/Linux/macOS so installing it never needs a C++ toolchain.

• , a Python wrapper for the GeoAxis API, to instantly find the exact geographic location for any image.

• , a wrapper around gsudo that lets a Python script re-run itself as admin (or even SYSTEM / TrustedInstaller on Windows) while keeping the same console window. Available on PyPI as both zhmiscellanygsudo and the shorter gsudo.

• , OCR (image text recognition) utilities I split out of the main package so projects that just want OCR don't have to pull in everything.

• , a smaller, server-focused version of zhmiscellany. Same kind of utilities but without the heavy deps, great for thin VMs and Docker images. I use it for the latter alot.

• , an easy RAM disk for Windows. Can spin up an in-memory volume in milliseconds and get a real file path that any app can read and write, put a file in and open it in VLC or whatever, then destroy the whole volume instantly. Zero disk writes, no format step, and it auto-installs the WinFsp driver on first use so it just works. Native Rust + PyO3, single abi3 wheel covering Python 3.9-3.13+.

dead_cut

I built , an automated YouTube vod editor. Hand it a long stream or vod and it gives you back just the entertaining bits, fully hands off. A 1h25 vod cuts to ~11 mins end to end in 2m17s on my gtx 1660 ti. Two layer system, the AI does the macro scale cuts (100+ edits per long vod) and an algorithmic silence pass handles the micro pacing inside what's kept, so the output actually feels like a well edited youtube video and not just a chopped down vod. Runs on a free OpenRouter model, no API costs ever.

Github profile page effects

I made a custom profile renderer for github that did fun visual stuff (https://api.zelesis.com/github-zen-ham). With my github account now hidden the renderer is offline; a gitlab equivalent is on the todo list.

Open source week

Me and a friend Apollo have been doing our own version of Deepseek's "Open Source Week", each releasing one repo we've made every day for a week.

Day	My Project	Apollo's Project
Day 1	Updated documentation for my Python package and improved my workflow to maintain it.	A text adventure game project.
Day 2	Refined and released my collection of Garry's Mod scripts with improved usability.	A robotics simulation project.
Day 3	My own version of Tales of Zenmania with new game mechanics and an expansive story.	An 8-bit sound emulator that converts MIDI files into true 8-bit wave files.
Day 4	A local LLM agent that allows AI models to perform tasks on your PC.	An AI interpreter language based on BASIC.
Day 5	An image OCR and search engine tool for finding text within images on your PC.	An 8-bit console with custom ISA, audio engine, visual engine, and assembler.

A bit about me

I'm a developer. In order of skill, I'd say I know Python, C++, Java, Rust, and JS, but I use Python and C++ daily, and have many years experience with it.
