I love creating and experimenting — from cardboard crafts as a kid to code, games, and whatever I get curious about next.

Current focus

Building NEXUS AI

A self-hosted AI companion that learns alongside me — private, persistent, and built from scratch on my own hardware.

The journey

My Journey

A chronological look at how I went from building cardboard gadgets to building an AI companion. Every step is real — including the ones that didn't go as planned.

  1. 01

    Cardboard crafts

    Building props and gadgets by hand, inspired by Ben 10 and Beyblades.

  2. 02

    Technology curiosity

    Falling deeper in love with how technology works — and wanting to build it.

  3. 03

    First competition game

    My first game competition entry — Last Stand, an FPS built with Core Engine.

  4. 04

    Shadow Born

    A darker action-RPG in Unreal Engine 5.5 — my first-prize competition game.

NEXUS AI

My long-term attempt to build the personal AI companion I've imagined since childhood. A self-hosted personal AI assistant — an integration layer between LLMs, memory, and automation tools.
