Nick Donohue’s portfolio connects Eurorack firmware, pen plotting, coding-agent infrastructure, music, games, and writing.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-04 issue.

Field notes

The portfolio is organized as four linked plates rather than a conventional résumé: Sound, Ink, Agents, and Play. Its projects connect physical output and software, including hatch3d for turning 3D surfaces into AxiDraw hatching and InkSight for producing reports about plotter SVGs. The writing archive adds operational detail, including a post documenting 23,662 tool calls across thirty days on one machine. The page also labels BrightPath Global Solutions as a consultancy that does not exist.
