Applied invention studio of Kristian “Fudge”
Bring me something you want to build, understand, teach, automate, organize, or make real.
I design systems, learning experiences, prototypes, tools, physical objects, smart spaces, media, and useful things that don't have a category yet.
No job too small. No specification required.

Techie Factory Arcade
Eighteen playable games and interactive worlds, built by kids in Techie Factory camps and labs. Search it, filter it, scan a QR code, and play — no login, no account, nothing to install.
Techie Factory builds the games and runs the labs.
Systems architecture and hosting by Second Mouse Systems.

Second Mouse Arcade and The Wellspring
Four working experiences built on our own hardware: three original arcade games and a source-backed expedition into how a modern myth gets built. No accounts, no tracking, keyboard and touch, sound and optional speech kept on our own machine.

Open the arcade · Status: first playable collection, October 2026. Voice needs a microphone and runs only through our local speech server; everything else runs in the browser.
The range
One practice. Every size of problem.
A tiny irritation and a full platform are the same kind of work: listen, find the real problem, build the machine that fits.
A nagging problem
The form that confuses everyone. The document rebuilt by hand every week. The thing you've muttered “somebody should fix this” about for a year. That counts. Bring it.
Looks like: a confusing intake rebuilt into a guided three-minute experience — in days, not months.
Want the full ladder, with examples at every rung? Start with “What is a system?”
Featured work
Open something instead of trusting sales copy.
Three of the current builds — two with full interactive demos you can use right now.
The small-job door
Yes, the little thing counts.
Small jobs are welcome. No retainer. Scope and price discussed before any work begins. A small useful system does not need to become a startup — and small projects should not inherit large-project overhead.
Who you're talking to
The person who hears the problem builds the machine.
I'm Kristian — most people call me Fudge. I work at the crossing point of systems engineering, education, invention, AI, software, hardware, fabrication, and media. People arrive with a fog; my job is to listen until the real project shows up, then make it visible fast.
If a human repeatedly does it on a computer, it can probably be simplified, automated, or turned into a tool.
