Simple Scripts

  • Maya Automation

    Short PyMel scripts that handle the boring stuff -- batch renaming, scene cleanup, quick exports -- so I can get back to the creative work.

  • File Organisation

    Simple Python and Batch scripts that sort render outputs, strip depth passes into their own folders, and keep project structures tidy.

Local AI Experiments

  • Trained on My Work

    I run AIs locally on my own machine, trained on my previous projects and scripts. This means they understand my coding style and creative approach -- not some generic pattern.

  • Faster Prototyping

    Instead of starting from scratch, I use my trained local AI to generate first drafts of scripts and ideas. It's like having a junior version of myself who already knows how I work.

  • Private & Offline

    Everything runs locally -- no cloud APIs, no data leaving my machine. My work stays mine, and I can experiment without worrying about privacy or subscriptions.

Simple Web Work

  • No Frameworks Needed

    This site itself is the example -- pure HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. No build steps, no dependencies, no npm install. Just files that work.

  • Visual Effects, Lightly

    I use CSS filters and simple JavaScript for visual effects rather than heavy WebGL. It keeps things fast, accessible, and works across all devices.

my_local_ai.py
import local_llm class JamesAI: def __init__(self): self.model = local_llm.load("trained_on_my_work") def help_prototype(self, idea): draft = self.model.generate(idea) return self.refine(draft) # I always tweak # Runs offline. No cloud. No fuss.
MayaMaya Python JavaScript Local AI

I keep my programming simple and practical. No frameworks, no over-engineering -- just straightforward scripts that solve real problems in my daily workflow.

I write lightweight Python scripts for Maya automation, simple Batch files for file organisation, and vanilla JavaScript for the web. I also run AIs locally on my own machine, training them on my previous work so they understand my style and can help me prototype ideas faster.
