Things I built
while learning
by doing.
This is where I work in public. AI experiments, visualizations, quizzes, and essays that exist because I was curious — not because they were assigned. Some of it is educational. Some of it is about the Real Housewives.
Don't judge me. This is a space for trying things. If you want the polished version, head to the home page.
Three things.
All worth your time.
