Hi, I'm Joey Russell

Computer Science at CBU. Full-stack and AI developer. Local-first AI tools. Builder of real things.

CS student at California Baptist University, graduating April 2027. I build AI-native tools that run on hardware you own: RAG pipelines, local models, and agentic automation.

Featured: Study Stash

Your Granola lecture recordings, turned into study notes by a model on your own Mac mini, and filed by class.

Study Stash: a Mac app showing a library of lectures sorted into classes

  • A native macOS app (Swift, AppKit) with This Mac and Library tabs, menus, and downloads.
  • A Python/FastAPI library on an always-on computer. It queues each lecture, writes study notes from the transcript with a local Ollama model, and sorts it into a class with a structured-output classifier.
  • Private by design: everything runs on your own machines over Tailscale, with no cloud AI and no analytics.
  • Shipped like a real product: one-line installers, auto-updates, and CI on macOS, Linux, and Windows that builds a universal DMG for every release.
