## Side Projects

- [legacydram](https://legacydram.com/) — A whisky curation media reading every bottle as somebody's commit history. People · Craft · Tasting (EN/JA bilingual).

## Open Source

- [domain-pre-flight](https://github.com/kenimo49/domain-pre-flight) — Python CLI · MIT. A pre-flight check before you register a domain for a new site or app. Structure, history, typosquat, multi-language semantics, LLMO, and trademark deeplinks in one command.
- [voice-clone](https://github.com/kenimo49/voice-clone) — Python · MIT. A voice-cloning tool built on Qwen3-TTS. Clone a voice from ~3 seconds of audio and have any text read in that voice. WSLg recording, multi-language.
- [speech-habit-lens](https://github.com/kenimo49/speech-habit-lens) — Python CLI · MIT. A 1-minute speech habit analyzer combining AmiVoice ESAS (20 acoustic emotion parameters) with an LLM. Three layers — acoustic, textual, and the cross-layer that links body and language — rendered as a Markdown report.
- [persona-hub](https://github.com/kenimo49/persona-hub) — TypeScript + Python · Apache-2.0. A two-part persona hub: a lightweight TypeScript SDK that scores quiz answers locally, and an optional FastAPI service that persists results so the same user can carry their profile across services. Architecture borrowed from LaunchDarkly + Segment Engage, applied to persona aggregation. Pre-alpha.
