Developer in Southern California. I build small, self-contained web apps and AI tooling, run a K3s homelab, and write at lscaturchio.xyz.
- spotify — CLI + FastAPI service for Spotify playlists: dedupes, syncs, archives Discover Weekly on a schedule, and sequences tracks by tempo and Camelot key using Deezer/AcousticBrainz data since Spotify withdrew its audio-features endpoint.
- grasping-straws — an Oblique Strategies–style card deck as a static Astro site: ~6 KB gzipped of inlined JS, a WebGL paper shader, zero framework runtime. Live at straws.lscaturchio.xyz.
- remedi — looks up natural alternatives to a drug or supplement via OpenFDA, with a database-first cache and fuzzy search. Live at remedi-iota.vercel.app.
- find-my-doggo — lost-and-found dog noticeboard in Next.js: post a photo and location, browse on a map, message the poster without their email being published. Rebuilt from a 2019 HackMerced project.
- trading-bot — async Python trading research on Alpaca: momentum and mean-reversion strategies, a regime-switching coordinator, backtests with slippage, paper trading only. No proven edge, and the README says so.
- ui — the lscaturchio.xyz visual identity packaged as a shadcn registry, so
npx shadcn add https://ui.lscaturchio.xyz/r/theme.jsondrops the tokens and fonts into any app.
