Selected work / 001
Systems with a purpose.
Software and physical projects, shaped by the constraints of the people and places they serve.
DOMAINE / FIELD SYSTEMS
Vineyard IntelligenceBlanquefort
Product / Private pilot
A working memory for the vineyard.
Operational mapping, field observations, survey data and planting decisions in one workspace. Original evidence stays connected to the decisions it informs.
Interactive parcel views and AI assistance support human judgement. The product is being refined through real vineyard testing.
General availability and pricing have not been announced.
Continuing practice
Future work & research.
A physical build and a collaborative way of working. Different disciplines, a shared attention to how things fit together.

AI Thruxton
A classic machine. A contemporary study.
A Triumph Thruxton build exploring onboard AI, camera-based awareness, ride logging and a future voice interface. Software and custom parts meet physical constraints.

CÆLUS
A collaborator in the process.
The collaborative identity used in Adrian’s work with ChatGPT: research, technical problem-solving, specifications, prototypes, code and documentation.
The practice values continuity, direct feedback and a clear distinction between proposals and verified results. Adrian provides the direction, context and judgement.
A collaboration identity, not an independently developed foundation model or a separately launched product.
Working method
Think in systems. Build for the real world.
01 / Understand
Start with the work.
Map the workflow, the constraints and the decisions people need to make. Define what useful looks like before choosing the technology.
02 / Connect
Make the parts fit.
Bring software, interfaces and physical requirements together. Use AI for exploration and development, with evidence and human review close at hand.
03 / Refine
Test the whole system.
Follow ideas through implementation, failure cases and field feedback. Clarity, reliability and considered design belong in the same process.
The person behind the practice
A systems thinker. A builder at heart.

I connect ideas and build things that make them useful.
Established in 2019, Arquero Studios has evolved across design, technical problem-solving, software development, automation and applied AI. The thread through the work is practical: turn a complicated real-world problem into something understandable and usable.
I think across disciplines and stay close to the details. How does it work? What happens when it fails? Can someone use it comfortably in the field? Does it look as considered as it feels?
AI is a newer capability within that continuing practice. I use it to research, challenge assumptions, prototype and develop. I bring the direction and context, and keep testing what the work can actually support.
For difficult workflows, connected systems and ideas worth making real.
