Canopy Ledger
A living dashboard for a regenerative farm or community forest: yield, water, waste, and what to tend next.
Solarpunk studio · Philippines
Build with intelligence. Automate with purpose.
Regenerative systems for everyone, so the delight of solarpunk can spread. High-performance, edge-deployed, and built to last.
I run Chainnes. The wider map of my work is at charlenecordero.com.
Mission
Spread solarpunk, and build technology for that future: tools that run on sunlight, can be fixed, and help living places.
Vision
A world people can picture and keep, where useful machines sit beside gardens, solar roofs, and the hands that repair them.
Focus
What I build.
Five practices. Anyone can start. The work stays repairable, close, and possible to pause.
- Full-stack development
- Sites, member spaces, and the services behind them. Built so a person can host, read, and repair what they use.
- Data & Analytics
- Yield, water, waste, and what to tend next. The numbers stay with the people they belong to.
- AI & automation
- Agents that sort, draft, and wait. A person still decides before anything acts.
- IoT & robotics
- Sensors and small machines that stay nearby, speak lightly, and can be opened when a part wears out.
- AR & VR
- Overlays for a walk or a classroom that name plants, materials, and how to repair what is already there.
Frameworks
How a system gets made.
One person, from the first conversation through the day it is running.
-
01
Explore
Listen, then name the problem in plain words.
-
02
Design
Keep it repairable, private, compute-efficient, and light to run.
-
03
Build
Ship it on infrastructure a person can hold.
-
04
Test
Measure what got lighter, then choose the next loop.
Tech stack
A small set for platforms, agents, dashboards, and machines. Close to the person using them.

Projects
Concepts in the garden.
These are the first systems the studio is drawing, one for each practice.
Concept · Full-stack development
Tide Stack
A small public site and member space for a coastal or neighborhood restoration group in the Philippines.
Concept · AI & automation
Root Agent
A local-first agentic workflow that structures data, sorts repair requests, grant dates, and field notes, and waits for a human checkpoint before it acts.
Concept · IoT
Plot Node
Soil, rain, and solar micro-sensors running on a decentralized local network, emitting only the metrics the ecosystem requires via lightweight protocols.
Concept · Robotics
Seed Walker
A small nursery machine for trays and paths, drawn to be repaired rather than replaced.
Concept · AR & VR
Grove Layer
An overlay for a walk or a classroom that names plants, materials, and how to repair them.

What Chainnes is
Shop
The Chainnes shop.
Digital products are one shelf. These sketches can grow into real things, once a version exists.
Sketch · Business intelligence
Living Dashboard
A board for energy, water, and materials. Meant to be hosted by the organization that uses it.
Sketch · Full-stack development
Regenerative Site Kit
A starter for a green organization’s site: pages, a simple member space, and room to grow.
Sketch · AI & automation
Purpose Agent
An automation with a human checkpoint, so a workflow can be paused and corrected.
Sketch · IoT
Sensor Plot
A starter for soil, rain, and solar readings on a garden or a small microgrid.
Sketch · AR & VR
Field Overlay
Notes that sit over a site visit: species, materials, and the next repair.
Sketch · Robotics
Quiet Machine
Interface notes for a repairable field robot: status a person can read at a glance.
