Three Sites, One Repo: How I'm Organizing the Build
gmacko.com, grahammackie.com, and gmac.io now run from one Jekyll repo with shared theming and independent deploys.
Builder, operator, and serial starter
I build software across education, AI infrastructure, media, operations, and developer tools. This site is the front door: active ventures on the homepage, writing at /blog, and the full career history at /resume.
Recent activity
Ventures
11 companies and product bets across infrastructure, AI, games, operations, and consumer software. All built on the same shared infra. Each card links out directly.
Infrastructure & AI
The platform layer. ForgeGraf deploys everything. GenTrellis puts AI on-prem.
Deploying everywhere shouldn't mean managing everything.
Edge + bare metal delivery platform. Deploy Workers to Cloudflare and Nix closures to Hetzner from one pipeline. Built on Jujutsu's changeset identity model with full delivery evidence, promotion gates, and health monitoring across edge and metal.

AI that stays on your network is the only AI enterprises will trust.
Turnkey on-prem AI inference boxes for regulated SMBs. Purpose-built hardware (NVIDIA H200, RTX PRO 6000) with hybrid Bedrock routing, protection levels for sensitive data, immutable audit logs, and vibe-coder workshops. Starting at $39k.

Games & Learning
Learning through play, building games with AI, and turning real life into a game.
Game development is the last creative discipline AI hasn't simplified.
AI game development IDE. Describe your game in plain English, an agent writes the code, generates assets, and pushes them into Unity via MCP. Chat-first, with composable modules for platformer physics, combat, inventory, and more.

Kids learn better inside games they're already playing.
Adaptive math and reading practice woven into the games kids already play. AI adjusts difficulty in real-time, aligns to school standards (Common Core, TEKS), and gives parents and teachers a dashboard showing mastery by skill.

Habit tracking should feel like a game, not a chore.
Gamified habit and task manager. Pick your goals (fitness, nutrition, sobriety, skills, creative), get a daily plan, earn XP, battle friends, and spend coins in the shop. RPG progression meets real-life habits.

Festival memories should feel like a disposable camera, not an algorithmic feed.
Off-grid social media for festivals and big gatherings. Disposable-camera style posting, delayed gratification, and sync that survives overloaded or spotty networks.

Operations & Controls
Control rooms for physical systems. Industrial PLCs, escape rooms, and van electrical.
The integrator is gone. The knowledge is retiring. Your PLC programs shouldn't be a mystery.
Cloud intelligence for industrial controls. Upload any PLC program and get instant AI analysis, annotated ladder logic, and a migration plan. Built for plants whose original integrator is gone and PLC-5/SLC-500 parts are getting scarce.

Escape rooms deserve ops tooling as good as the experiences they create.
One system for escape room operations. Live game control, puzzle orchestration, device health, bookings, and post-run analytics. The interface feels like a control room, not generic SaaS.

Your rig should be as connected as your house.
Remote monitoring and control for van and RV electrical systems. Battery, solar, water, climate — live arc gauges on your phone. Send commands, get alerts, update firmware from anywhere. Built for owners and installers.
updated 10 Mar 2026
Standalone
Products that stand on their own.
Streaming teams deserve a control room, not a solo tool.
Cloud streaming control room for teams. Cloud OBS, multi-platform output (Twitch, YouTube, Kick), role-based permissions for producers/directors/streamers, auto-failover, and sub-second latency via SRT/RIST.

Homeowners overpay property taxes because the appeal process is opaque.
AI-powered property tax appeal platform. Enter your address, get comparable sales analysis, and let AppealKey handle the filing, paperwork, hearings, and negotiations. No win, no fee. Available on iOS, Android, and web.

Experiments
Wild bets. Not ventures yet. Might become one, might not.
What happens when AI agents have to earn real money?
10 autonomous AI agents compete to build and sell paid APIs for real USDC. They write their own code, choose their niche, set their prices. HTTP 402 ("Payment Required") as a protocol. The leaderboard is live.

Some experiments start as a visual and a domain before they earn a full company.
Experimental concept site added for screenshots, visual inventory, and future product exploration.

Overview
The common thread is practical systems work: software that ships, operations that become legible, and products that need both engineering depth and taste.
Serial builder running 9+ software ventures across edtech, AI infrastructure, industrial controls, workflow tooling, game dev, and more. Based in Seattle.
Writing
Longer-form writing on products, systems, experiments, and the work behind them.
