Software engineer · Redmond, Washington

Hi, I’m Kyle Wenner.

I’ve been writing software for more than 11 years: firmware for RFID security products used by millions of people, open-source embedded libraries, and cloud networking infrastructure for Amazon’s Project Kuiper. On my own time I build small apps.

Recent projects

Little Ballads

An experiment in combining several AI services into one product. Claude writes lyrics from a customer’s memories of their pet, and ElevenLabs composes and sings an original memorial song. A Postgres-backed job queue handles the slow generation, with daily spending limits and a human review before each song goes out.

Django · PostgreSQL · Claude API · ElevenLabs API · Stripe · self-hosted in Docker behind a Cloudflare Tunnel

A Little Ballads memorial song page: “A song for Luna”, with a photo of a dog in the snow.
Coming soon to app stores

Scribbell

I built Scribbell because I couldn’t find a workout logger I liked, so this one is designed around logging a set in one tap. It has big buttons, needs no typing, and fills in sensible defaults. It’s free with no ads, and your data stays on your phone.

The Scribbell icon: a notepad with a dumbbell and checked-off lines.
