IT / SOFTWARE / PERSONAL PROJECTS

Hi, I’m Kris.

Software Administrator
IT Systems / AI-Assisted Builder

I work in IT and software administration.
Outside of work, I build tools, games, and this website.

01 / SELECTED WORK

Projects & experiments.

A few things I’ve built.
Open a project to try it or see how it works.

FEATURED CASE STUDY / THIS WEBSITE

This website is part of the work.

A closer look at the design, development, and upkeep of vonkerz.com.

02 / THE AI LAB

How I build.

IDEAS / PROTOTYPES / REVISIONS

I learn by making things I can use.

I use ChatGPT and Codex to explore ideas, develop code, and troubleshoot. I spend a lot of time trying the result, finding what feels off, and making another pass. These experiments are a place to work through those ideas.

  1. 01

    Define the problem

    Start with a specific problem or something I want to try.

  2. 02

    Build a small version

    Build enough to see whether the idea works in practice.

  3. 03

    Test, refine, repeat

    Try it, check the edge cases, and work through what needs fixing.

◼ VOXEL FIELD / EXPERIMENT 001

Adjust. Rotate. See what changes.

LOCAL ML / INTERACTIVE STUDY

Signal Drift.

A signal becomes a behavior. Tune frequency, amplitude, and noise, then watch a local classifier guide a sculpted animal.

    03 / OFF THE CLOCK

    Take a break.

    A garden and a puzzle.
    Both run in your browser.

    Komorebi Bonsai

    Water, prune, and shape your own little tree. Feed koi, rake the sand, or simply stay a while.

    BROWSER GAME / LOGIC

    Packet Shift↗

    A tiny network with a small problem: too many nodes are lit up. Switch off every node to clear the board.

    Selecting a node flips it and its immediate neighbors. There’s no timer—just a little logic.

    How to play

    Tap or click a square to toggle it and its neighbors above, below, left, and right. Turn all 16 squares dark. Keyboard: Tab between nodes, then Enter or Space to toggle. Every new puzzle is generated from a solved board and can be solved.

    Clear the network. Turn every node off.

    04 / BEHIND THE SCREEN

    Outside of work.

    I like figuring out how things work, whether that’s a software issue at work or a game idea at home.

    This is where I keep the things I make. Some solve a small annoyance; others are simply fun to spend time on.

    I’m still adding to the collection. I like simple interfaces, pixel art, and projects that leave room to experiment.
