# Jesse L. Anderson

Bay Area · papag00se

**Over 40 years coding. Still finding new things to build.**

Currently obsessed with blockchain and AI. Co-founder of [ADA Handles](https://handle.me). Starting PapaGoose, focused on AI-powered productivity tools.

## Explore the signature portfolio

The homepage centers my handwritten signature, surrounded by four connected projects:

- **[H.A.L.](https://hal.handle.me)** — Handle Augmented Lifeform: real 3D collectibles, minting infrastructure and a tracking SubHandle. Explore Elyndar, Alric, Seraphiel or the original golden model.
- **[ADA Handles](https://handle.me)** — readable Cardano identity. Its own project view includes the handle.me screenshot and a local, non-payable name-resolution sandbox.
- **[cria-shepherd](https://github.com/papag00se/cria-shepherd)** — a local-first compound AI layer between harness and model: context shaping, tool-call repair, grounded steering and execution checks. Three full-size illustrations have readable text alternatives.
- **[Creative-tool bridges](/projects)** — natural-language control of open Roblox Studio, Daz Studio and Blender sessions, built for me and my son.

K.O.R.A. introduces her creator and answers from curated public information. Compatible devices can run an experimental browser-local model automatically unless Data Saver or saved opt-out is active. Generated answers can be wrong. The separate Settings dialog distinguishes selected from running models; no cloud inference, private corpus, tools or wallet access is connected. Without a ready/usable model, labeled public-source excerpts remain available. Without JavaScript, project descriptions and full-size image links remain readable.

## Four connected engineering projects

### [H.A.L.](/work/)

H.A.L. means Handle Augmented Lifeform: a 3D collectible product built on the on-chain primitives of Handles.

### [ADA Handles](/work/)

ADA Handles provides readable custom wallet addresses secured on Cardano.

### [cria-shepherd](https://github.com/papag00se/cria-shepherd)

cria-shepherd is a local-first compound AI layer between a coding harness and an OpenAI-compatible model server.

### [Creative-tool bridges](/projects/)

Jesse built OpenClaw bridges so his son could direct open Roblox, Blender, and Daz scenes through natural language.

The visual homepage is just the signature constellation with a thin header and footer. Project details open from the four orbit links; there is no appended notebook or gallery. Without JavaScript, the detailed reading path remains available.
