Alex Zaurov — Prod Support by Day · AI Builder by Night

I don't just support software — I build it. My production support background gives me a systems-level lens that makes my personal projects unusually well-engineered. I've shipped AI-powered web apps, cross-platform mobile apps, and desktop tools built with modern frameworks and cloud APIs.


🛠 What I Build

🌍 Silk Road Duo — AI Language Learning Platform

React Native · Expo · JavaScript · Anthropic Claude API

A cross-platform mobile app teaching 7 ancient and classical languages from the Silk Road (Bukharian, Farsi, Sogdian, Arabic, Uzbek, Hebrew, Aramaic). Features AI-generated dynamic lessons using Claude, multiple exercise types (MCQ, fill-in-the-blank, matching, word arrangement), XP-based progression, achievement tracking, and daily cultural facts. Each lesson is procedurally generated with accurate vocabulary, native script support, and romanized transliterations.


🛡️ SentinelWatch — AI Process Monitor

Electron · Node.js · Anthropic Claude API · PowerShell · ps aux

Cross-platform desktop app that polls live OS processes every 5 seconds, detects hangs via CPU-delta analysis over configurable windows, and surfaces Claude AI-generated triage recommendations. Built with Electron for cross-platform compatibility and real-time process monitoring.


TypeScript · React · Node.js/Express · Anthropic Claude API

An AI-powered tool for instantly generating tailored resumes and cover letters. Reads your profile and job descriptions to generate personalized documents in seconds — ideal for rapid job applications and career transitions.


🕸️ mywebsite

PHP · CSS

A role-based access control website for personal and project showcase. High-performance PHP backend and custom CSS—built as a learning ground for secure authentication, web layouts, and feature-rich user experiences.


PHP · JavaScript · Twig · SCSS

A fork for custom tooling and experimentation with database management UIs. Tinkering with the legendary phpMyAdmin codebase to improve efficiency, tweak UI, and prototype extensions for production environments.


👻 Pac-Man

HTML

A pure-HTML recreation of the arcade classic. A nostalgic side project focused on accessibility and fun browser dynamics.


🤖 Zeev

Python · Groq API · Piper TTS · SQLite · Raspberry Pi Zero 2W

Personal AI companion running on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W. Auto-routes between Groq's 8B, 70B, and DeepSeek R1 models per message; falls back to a local Ollama server when offline.

  • Torah RAG: FTS5 SQLite corpus spanning Tanakh, Talmud, Zohar, Dead Sea Scrolls, and Sumerian literature — relevant passages injected into every Jewish/Kabbalistic query
  • Quantum reasoning: daily quantum circuit simulations (Qiskit) explore human-dilemma scenarios; insights accumulate over time and compound future reasoning
  • Multilingual TTS: Groq Orpheus (English), Google Translate TTS (Hebrew/Russian/Spanish), Piper neural TTS with auto-restart fallback — all on a 512 MB Pi Zero 2W
  • Bluetooth audio: pair headphones by voice ("scan for bluetooth", "pair my headphones") — auto-detected at startup, all TTS and music routed and resampled (ffmpeg) to match A2DP format; physical disconnects (headphones powered off) detected automatically before each TTS call
  • Phone calls (HFP): dial and receive calls via Bluetooth HFP; auto-detects voicemail, IVR, or live callers; speculative pre-generation so the voicemail message is ready at the beep; live calls carry full conversation history across turns; early-speech-onset detection prevents Whisper hallucinations on 8kHz SCO audio from misclassifying a real pickup as voicemail
  • Quantum conversation scenarios (quantum_convo.py): runs a quantum circuit over conversation directions (empathy, playfulness, depth, small talk) and uses the interference pattern to prioritize call topics — python3 zeev/quantum_convo.py --name NAME --call NUMBER
  • Web UI + device mode: mobile-friendly SSE chat interface and a push-to-talk Whisplay HAT mode with thermal camera support

...plus more public and private projects!
