iOS and AI Tooling Engineer
I’m Adrien Lipari, the one-person studio behind Synodic. I build Apple-platform products and the AI tooling around them: shipped iOS apps, Metal-powered museum exhibits, and a phone-operated agent stack for running a software studio. Open to remote or Boulder-area IC roles at AI-native product and devtools companies.
AI Tooling
- AI tooling
- Skills
- Claude Code
- Open source
An opinionated stack of Claude Code plugins, skills, hooks, and a multi-agent system that runs my studio from a phone. Most of it is public and MIT-licensed.
- synodic-kit — personal Claude Code plugin with 15 skills and 8 lifecycle hooks
- inline-relay — code review threads embedded directly in source files
- macro-kiwi — multi-provider gen-AI skill for image generation, editing, and vision
- Fanta — multi-agent system, private repo, public writeup
- Plus: swift-quality-tools, edit logging, and more

GravityWell
- Metal GPU pipeline
- Museum installations
- Realtime image processing
Camera-driven orbital visualization for science museum exhibits. A custom Metal shader pipeline processes frames from an astronomical camera in realtime and renders the positions of glowing balls as colored trails on a public display.
- Custom Metal shaders keep the critical image-processing path on the GPU
- Frame-by-frame position detection drives smooth realtime visual feedback
- Runs unattended for years with automatic recovery
Patchbay Relay
- Agents
- Telegram
- Open source
Run AI coding agents on your own machine, from your phone. Patchbay Relay bridges Telegram to a pluggable harness layer running the Claude Agent SDK or pi.
- Per-topic project routing — each Telegram thread maps to a working directory
- Pluggable harness layer — one protocol across the Claude Agent SDK and pi
- Agent identity loading for personal-assistant style multi-agent setups
- Crash recovery + self-heal — survives its own self-edits
- MIT open source
PodWash
- AI workflow
- Whisper
- Self-hosted
Self-hosted podcast ad-skipping proxy. Subscribe through PodWash, get your podcasts back ad-free in any podcast app.
- Whisper transcribes each episode, Claude detects the ads, ffmpeg cuts them
- Re-publishes a clean RSS feed — point your podcast app at it
- Two-process design — small VPS for the server, beefier local box for the AI pipeline
- Self-healing recovery — most failures resolve before anyone gets paged
- MIT open source
