SantosForge / Independent projects
SantosForge is where we bring together our projects in software, automation, and physical design. Some start with a problem at home. Others come from an idea we want to try.

A few projects that bring our interests together, from testing ideas in software to designing things we can make.
We'll add project photos, demos, and more detailed write-ups here as the work develops.
A software sandbox for exploring how a farm might operate. It lets us compare scenarios and see how changes in one part of the system affect the rest.
The project combines a simulation model with an interactive interface. We use it to explore assumptions and work through decisions before investing in equipment or infrastructure. It's a research prototype; the model still needs comparison with real farm data.
Organizers and accessories designed around the way a workspace is actually used. The work starts in CAD, with small test pieces to check the fit before making a complete part.
We're exploring adaptable parts that can be adjusted for different workspaces. The current designs focus on geometry, mounting, and fit. Physical testing comes before a finished product.
Workflows that help us find project notes, recover the reason behind a decision, and pick up work without starting from scratch each time.
We connect notes with their sources and use automation to make the useful parts easier to retrieve. The aim is simple: spend less time searching for context and more time working on the project.
