Building thingsthat don’texist yet.
Fifteen years old. I’ve been writing code since middle school and shipping things ever since — iOS apps, on-device AI, web platforms, autonomous hardware. The list below is everything I’ve made public, ranked the way I’d rank it: by what I care about, not by what trended.

§ Now
What I’mspending time on.
On-device intelligence. Apple is opening up real foundation-model APIs on the phone. The thing I want to build is software that thinks where it lives, with no round trip and no privacy tax. Synapse is the current experiment — predicting brain activation from intention, running on a Meta encoder.
Builder > user. I'd rather ship five rough things this month than one polished thing this year. Most of what's in the index started as a hackathon weekend or a 2am idea. Some of them turned into apps with real users. That's the loop I'm optimizing for.
Day to day I work in python, typescript, html, c. iOS is home. Python is the lab. Next.js is how the labs get on the internet. I run a Raspberry Pi for drone work and a 3D printer for the parts in between.
