Some are client work, some I built at work or with my own company, some I built for myself or my family, and three are school projects. ## All projects Inventor and lead developer · Perfect Afternoon ### [PANoodle: AI Operations Platform](https://www.nathangamache.com/projects/panoodle/) An internal platform that connects the team’s Claude or ChatGPT to more than 1,300 tools over MCP, tied to the agency’s client and website records, with a memory for every client and site and a ClickUp bot that scopes and runs the monthly maintenance. I invented and built it in 2026 and lead its development. Technologies: MCP, Claude, AI agents, Postgres [View project: PANoodle: AI Operations Platform](https://www.nathangamache.com/projects/panoodle/) Scope, development and launch ### [SJD Taxi Booking Platform](https://www.nathangamache.com/projects/sjd-taxi/) I built and launched the website for a taxi and shuttle service in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico in 2023, working for them directly, and I have kept working on it since through Gamache Technology Solutions and Perfect Afternoon. In 2025 I took over an unfinished replacement for their 2015 booking system and turned it into a working one: a central booking hub, booking plugins that install on any site, HubSpot sync and Stripe checkout in five currencies. It now runs four sites. Technologies: WordPress, PHP, TypeScript, React, Stripe [Read the case study: SJD Taxi Booking Platform](https://www.nathangamache.com/projects/sjd-taxi/) · [Visit sjdtaxi.com](https://sjdtaxi.com) Co-founder · CatalogXpert ### [CatalogXpert: AI Sales Assistant Platform](https://www.nathangamache.com/projects/catalogxpert/) A multi-tenant platform that hosts AI sales assistants for stores that sell technical products, added to a site with one script tag. Each store gets its own sales engine, and each store’s data is kept apart with PostgreSQL Row-Level Security. I co-founded CatalogXpert in March 2026 as a venture between JDW Ventures and Gamache Technology Solutions. I wrote the original demo and the first engine, for audio and AV, and the specs the platform was built from.

In October 2026 I rebuilt its benchmark and tested each signal against fixed pass and fail rules. On footage held back until the end, it warned at least 30 seconds ahead for 23% of fights at under one false alarm an hour, against 4% for a baseline that sees no video. An outside test showed it recognizes fight footage rather than a fight building. Technologies: PyTorch, SigLIP 2, Computer Vision, Evaluation [View project: Streaming Violence Anticipation System](https://www.nathangamache.com/projects/capstone/) · [Code on GitHub: Streaming Violence Anticipation System](https://github.com/nathangamache/violence_anticipation) Deep Learning class · Spring 2026 ### [Detroit Pulse: Live Incident Map from Scanner Radio](https://www.nathangamache.com/projects/detroit-pulse/) A live map of public safety incidents in metro Detroit, which I built on my own for my Deep Learning class at Lawrence Tech in spring 2026. It transcribes public scanner radio with Whisper, has a local language model find the address and the kind of call, and groups transmissions about the same event into one incident. For the address step I built a QLoRA fine-tuning pipeline, trained a LoRA adapter with it and ran the fine-tuned model. Technologies: Python, Whisper, Local LLMs, QLoRA, React [View project: Detroit Pulse: Live Incident Map from Scanner Radio](https://www.nathangamache.com/projects/detroit-pulse/) Machine Learning class · Fall 2025 ### [Process and Outcome Reward Models for Small Language Models](https://www.nathangamache.com/projects/reward-models/) An unpublished paper I co-wrote for my Machine Learning class in fall 2025. A 3B-parameter open model writes step-by-step solutions to math and logic questions, ChatGPT labels each step and each final answer as right or wrong, and we fine-tuned two 1.5B-parameter reward models on those labels to pick the best of several solutions. The step-level model scored 98% on its validation set.

The server’s owner built the bot. I built Baylee’s website myself, and added new commands and add-on features to the bot while I was very new to coding. It matched keywords against a large dictionary of words and pieced its replies together from templates, and it felt like AI before AI. Technologies: Node.js, Express, MySQL, Discord API [View project: Baylee Discord Bot](https://www.nathangamache.com/projects/baylee/) SJD Taxi and CatalogXpert have full case studies written so far. The other fourteen project pages are not full case studies, though several go into a lot of detail. ## Questions about any of these? I am happy to go into more detail on any of them.
