Selection of work

StoryWeaver

NewsNext.jsAI

AI-powered news platform that transforms headlines into interactive story trees. Users explore deeper context by clicking on keywords — revealing background, related events, and key narratives. I built the retrieval and summarization pipeline, designed the interface, and authored the content.

Browser.AI

On-Device AIBrowserElectron

Browser with a prototype API that lets websites run open-source AI models directly in the user's browser — no server calls, no data sharing. Inspired by browser permissions like camera or location access, it gives users control over which models run, and developers a way to build AI features without backend costs. I designed the API, built the demo, and wrote the spec for W3C submission.

CLITypeScriptNode

Keep your house in order. A lightweight project index for your machine: point it at one or more root folders (e.g. ~/code), let it scan for projects, then use fast commands to search, inspect, and jump to them. No scrolling through hundreds of folders—bet turns chaos into a map. Node/TypeScript CLI with shell integration for cd and tab completion.
