Experiments with ChatGPT 6 Astra for VR / WebXR

What can ChatGPT Astra build with WebXR? Using an old Meta Quest Pro VR headset, I tried a few experiments, including a Portal-inspired VR demo. The aim was to explore how an AI coding assistant could help turn an idea into an interactive experience that runs in a browser.


Building VR experiences has remained a niche development activity, partly because of the significant time and effort involved. This video explores what can be achieved in a couple of hours. With the tech press proclaiming the death of the metaverse, I think powerful coding agents may make those declarations premature—and give user-created VR experiences a brighter future than many people expect.

From Inbox to Opportunity - ML and LLM Workflow Presentation

I built a macOS app to turn job-alert emails into a useful shortlist.


It uses Core ML to classify emails locally, extracts individual jobs on-device, and uses an LLM to assess each role against my experience and a scoring rubric. I can correct classifications in Mail and receive notifications for strong matches.


A practical project combining native Apple development, reliable data pipelines, and targeted AI-without sending my entire inbox to an LLM.
