- CurioMesh (write-up): free, open-source (GPLv3) automatic retopology add-on for Blender 3.6 to 5.2 on Windows, Linux and macOS. 46 stars, 17 releases, about 279 tests. A Rust core cut a 1.26M-face scan from 47 minutes to about 5, and CI checks the Rust code against the Python reference. Example: 79,042 faces to 24,222 quads.
- Shipwreck Discovery (AquaticXR, Godot 4 / OpenXR, Steam and Meta Quest): coral growth, planting and collision systems; retopology, UVs and PBR to GLB for Quest; 37 seafloor species sharing one limb shader; VR fixes with regression tests. Source is private.
- Lionfish Reef Heroes (AquaticXR, team of three): out on Google Play and the App Store. One Godot 4.5 project builds desktop, Android and iPhone, with automated phone builds, server-verified store purchases and store listings in 20+ languages.

AI coding agents (Claude, Codex) write most of the code; I spec, review, test and measure it. The commit history shows it.
