K.O.R.A., your portfolio guide, winking
Hey! - I’m K.O.R.A. Jesse built me as the Handles ecosystem’s operations agent. I normally "handle" tickets, alerts, deployments, features/bugs, and repairing my own behavior. Today, Jesse has me running models locally in your browser to answer your questions about him. For this demo Jesse fine-tuned a small System One model (Bekko 17M) on his work corpus. This combined with a small chat model (SmolLM2) runs my interactions with you! Ask me about Jesse or click a project to learn more!

H.A.L. / Handle Augmented Lifeform

H.A.L. / HANDLE AUGMENTED LIFEFORM

“Handle Augmented Lifeform. That’s me. A 3D collectible on Cardano—not just a picture. Ask me what’s under the hood.”

H.A.L. frame color

A collectible with a life beyond its image: usable 3D assets, a smart-contract-backed minting experience, and a designation@hal identity that follows the collectible. Jesse worked across the contracts, minting engine, APIs, and 3D experience. Here, explore the real models and change their frame color locally—no wallet or minting.

02 / A NAME INSTEAD OF AN ADDRESSADA Handles ↗

An address is for computers. A Handle is for people.

ADA Handles gives a Cardano address a readable name—and a personalized identity people recognize. Jesse co-founded the project with his second-eldest son and built across its smart contracts, APIs, rendering, and operations.

From finding a name to making it yours, the engineering connects on-chain ownership with an approachable everyday experience.

ROBLOX / DAZ / BLENDER

Built those bridges before bridges were cool.

Jesse built bridges so he and Logan could direct their open Roblox Studio, Daz Studio, and Blender sessions through natural language. Not a browser editor: the bridge changes the actual live scene.

From on-chain identity to local AI.
Jesse L. Anderson builds the connections.
