what comes
next.
We build at the boundary between machines and intelligence—turning difficult systems research into software with real-world consequence.

WHAT WE DO
From architectural uncertainty
to working systems.
We take on technical problems that benefit from careful research, direct implementation, and a bias toward measurable behavior.
02
Reason once. Execute reliably.
Agentic automation
Focused AI systems for document understanding, research, and browser workflows, designed around observable and deterministic execution.- RAG and document pipelines
- Browser-use orchestration
- Human-in-the-loop review
03
De-risk the difficult part
Technical discovery
Short, rigorous engagements that turn ambiguous technical problems into validated prototypes and implementation-ready decisions.- Feasibility studies
- Architecture reviews
- Proofs of concept
SELECTED WORK
Software with
a point of view.
Products and prototypes shaped by a practical question: can complex tooling become more capable without becoming more opaque?

FLAGSHIP / OPEN SOURCE01 — PRODUCT
Amagon
The intelligent way to build the web.
An offline, AI-assisted visual HTML editor that combines natural-language changes, direct manipulation, theme-aware styling, and clean standalone export.
STACK Electron / React / TypeScriptLICENSE GPL-3.0STATUS Active development
CASE NOTE / DOCUMENT AI
Context-aware extraction
A layout-aware pipeline concept for turning mixed PDFs, images, and spreadsheets into reviewable structured data—with explicit fallbacks for difficult documents.
CASE NOTE / AUTOMATION
Self-healing web workflows
A planning-and-execution architecture that keeps browser steps inspectable, isolates failures, and only returns to an AI planner when a known path breaks.
CASE NOTE / PRODUCT SYSTEMS
Visual logic mapping
A node-based approach for turning complex business rules into readable, serializable flows that non-developers can inspect and maintain.
COMPLETE PROJECT INDEX / 11 RECORDS
Everything in one place.
Active products, experiments, tools, and preserved early work—presented here without sending visitors to a separate portfolio page.
01 / Browser extension
Remapad
Controller-first browsing with site-specific mappings, a virtual cursor, gamepad isolation, and an on-screen keyboard.
02 / Desktop application
Amagon HTML Editor
An offline visual HTML editor with AI-assisted changes, bidirectional code sync, theming, and clean export.
03 / Game / ML experiment
Hand Tracking Game
A browser game mapping MediaPipe hand landmarks into a React Three Fiber and Rapier physics world.04 / Full-stack tool
Team Report Generator
An AI-assisted workflow for collecting daily updates and turning them into consolidated weekly reports.05 / Systems utility
GOG Galaxy Replacer
A C++ and PowerShell tool that safely upgrades legacy GOG DOSBox installations to DOSBox Staging.
06 / Interpreter / game
Robo.js
A gamified interpreter where small opcode programs control a robot and expose execution concepts directly.
07 / Compiler research
s2sc.js
A source-to-source compiler exploring parsing, AST transformation, and language interoperability in the browser.
08 / Technical demo
Canvas Racing POC
A raw Canvas 2D racing experiment built to test browser rendering limits without an external game framework.09 / Knowledge site
Game Guides Hub
A practical game-guide archive with experimental context-aware assistance on selected articles.
10 / Legacy engine
Zero Engine
An early 2D engine experiment centered on drag-and-drop authoring and reusable templates.
11 / Text RPG
Dragon Slayer
A preserved early text adventure influenced by classic computer role-playing games.ORILLA LABS
Curiosity,
under load.
The lab is where uncertain ideas are made concrete enough to test. Findings become open-source tools, reusable architecture, or clear reasons not to proceed.
01DOCUMENT AI
Docling + multimodal parsing
Evaluating local-first layout analysis and vision-model fallbacks for complex PDFs, tables, and mixed-format enterprise documents.
02AGENTS
Strategy / Spider orchestration
Separating expensive path-finding from fast deterministic execution, with a repair loop for workflows that encounter changed interfaces.
03COMPUTER VISION
Hand-tracking interfaces
Exploring coordinate mapping, latency compensation, and approachable physics interactions with MediaPipe and React Three Fiber.04OPEN SOURCE
Tools built in public
Practical software spanning gamepad-first browsing, emulator modernization, data access, and the independent web.OPEN-SOURCE FOOTPRINT
Useful software belongs in the open.
Remapad enables controller-first browsing. DOSBox Staging Replacer modernizes classic GOG releases. ShareDis sends links to IRC and Matrix without unwanted previews.

01020301 / EDITOR WALKTHROUGH
Amagon / visual-to-code loop
A looping interface study showing blocks moving from the component shelf into the canvas, then resolving into clean code.01020302 / CONTROL SYSTEM
Remapad / couch navigation
An animated controller path through focus, virtual cursor movement, search, and playback actions.01020303 / VISION PIPELINE
Hand tracking / interaction plane
A motion diagram for the path from camera landmarks through stabilization into a constrained 3D physics surface.FIELD NOTES
Ideas, revised
for clarity.
Research notes rewritten around the engineering decision each topic helps a reader make—without inflated claims or ornamental jargon.
AI SYSTEMS
Modern AI search is a retrieval system—not a prompt trick
A practical framework for hybrid retrieval, reranking, latency budgets, and evaluation before a RAG pipeline reaches production.
AGENT DESIGN
Why agents should plan less often and execute more predictably
The Strategy / Spider pattern reframes browser agents as planners that produce inspectable work for cheaper deterministic runners.INTERACTION
Hand tracking: the gap between detecting motion and designing control
Lessons from stabilizing coordinates, flattening interaction planes, and making camera-driven interfaces feel intentional.DOCUMENT AI
Beyond OCR: preserving the structure that gives documents meaning
Why tables, reading order, and visual hierarchy demand layout-aware parsing—and where multimodal models genuinely help.

Louie Orilla
Technical lead, systems architect, open-source builder—and the person accountable for every claim made here.
Richard’s work spans cloud-native software, ML-driven analytics, developer tooling, and the peculiar edges of computing history. That breadth is not a list of buzzwords; it is the perspective behind Orilla Technologies: understand the system below the abstraction before adding another one.
