OpenStory

OpenStory — Open Video Generation.

Paste a script and get back a scene-by-scene breakdown, AI-generated frames, and motion video — with characters, locations, and visual style staying consistent across every shot. Built with TanStack Start, Bun, and Cloudflare Workers; image and motion generation via TanStack AI + Fal.ai.

Open source

  • TanStack/ai — authored the fal.ai adapter for image and video generation. Also shipped NanoBanana Pro 2 support, an OpenRouter SDK upgrade with structured-output, and assorted fixes.
  • dotfiles — my setup for multi-agent Claude Code workflows with git worktrees.

Writing

Previously

  • Flow Blockchain — engineering lead on the Flow Wallet Chrome Extension. Architectural overhaul, CI/CD, state-management refactor, end-to-end test coverage.

  • Specle — founder & CEO (2006–2017). Central ad spec database used by Guardian, Daily Mail, and Condé Nast. Cash-positive within 3 years; still operating.
