Johnny IV Young — Senior Backend and AI Engineer · Medellín

Local-first tools with Spanish names, built in Medellín.

X / Twitter  ·  Homebrew tap  ·  electron-stagewright

I'm Johnny, a senior backend and AI engineer working in TypeScript, Go, and Swift. For clients I build APIs and LLM systems that run in production. On my own time I build the tools below. They run on your machine, keep your data there, and most carry a Spanish name that says what they do.

Mac apps, private by design

Project What it does Latest
Gancho · hook
gancho.app
Clipboard history and snippet library for Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Full-text search, on-device OCR, and questions answered from what you copied. Syncs through your own iCloud. release
Portavoz · spokesperson
portavoz.app
Meeting assistant that knows who said what. Live transcription, speaker separation, and bilingual summaries, all on your Mac. A local MCP server lets your AI tools ask what you agreed to. release
Secreteo · whispering Dictation from the menu bar. Hold a key, speak, and the text lands where your cursor is. Speech recognition runs on your Mac. release
Vitrine
vitrineframe.app
Turns code and terminal output into share-ready images. vgrab htop captures a full-screen terminal app as the frame you saw, not a transcript of escape codes. release

Swift 6 · SwiftUI · GRDB/SQLite · Core ML · CloudKit

Developer tools

Project What it does Latest
Lingua
linguacode.dev · try it in the browser
Offline-first code runner and scratchpad for JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Go, Rust, Ruby, and SQL. Inline results, a debugger, an HTTP client, a database client, and notebooks in one app for macOS, Windows, Linux, and the web. release
gos Installs and switches Go versions in seconds. One Bash script, no dependencies, checksum-verified downloads. macOS, Linux, Windows, and BSD. release

TypeScript · Electron · React · Monaco · DuckDB · Bash

For AI agents

Project What it does Latest
electron-stagewright
docs
Lets coding agents drive real Electron apps the way Playwright drives browsers. An MCP server with accessibility-tree queries, retrying assertions, and replayable session traces. release
Relevo · relay A Herdr layout for running coding agents across several Claude accounts. One inbox answers "whose turn is it?" across agents, pull requests, and reviews. release
Janusly
janusly.app
AI operator for business workflows in one Go executable. Designs, runs, and recovers workflows on PostgreSQL, with human approval before anything changes. MCP client and server. In development

TypeScript · Go · PostgreSQL · MCP · Claude · OpenTelemetry

For business

Project What it does Latest
Puntovivo
puntovivo.app
Point of sale for Latin American retail, starting with Colombia. The store keeps selling offline: checkout, cash sessions, per-site stock, and fiscal documents run on an encrypted local database. release

TypeScript · Electron · React · Fastify · tRPC · SQLite

Install

The Mac apps and CLIs install with Homebrew. The current casks, formulae, and versions are in the homebrew-tap.

In the lab

  • MeloSensei (private): a piano coach for iPad. You play short pieces on your own keyboard; it listens over MIDI and gives one correction at a time.
  • herdr-secreteo (private): voice routing for Herdr agents on top of Secreteo's dictation. Say "codex: add tests for the parser" and the prompt reaches the right agent. The offline router works; live delivery does not exist yet.
  • VetCare (private): clinic management for veterinary practices. Reception and scheduling, medical records, hospital, pharmacy and cash register, grooming, and a portal for pet owners. React and TypeScript on the web, Spring Boot behind it.
  • local-model-store: one verified on-disk store for local AI models, so a model downloads once even when several of my apps need it.

Client work

  • Node.js and NestJS APIs and queue workers that hold up under real traffic.
  • Go services where concurrency, latency, and footprint matter.
  • LLM systems with tool use, structured outputs, and retrieval, built to be observed and evaluated.

How I build

  • Local first. Your data stays on your device unless you choose otherwise.
  • Boring tech, sharp execution. Proven tools, with novelty spent where it matters.
  • AI is a system, not a prompt. Retrieval, evals, guardrails, and a deterministic fallback.
