Graduated in 2026, now on a gap year working full-time on my own research and projects.
Image generators output opaque pictures because their VAE only has three colour channels. I widened the FLUX.2 Klein VAE to RGBA, fine-tuned it with a triple-background loss, then trained foreground-extraction LoRAs on top.

A Figma-like UI design tool that runs inside a game engine editor, built with designer Zack. 400 pre-orders and sign-ups before launch; the announcement video hit 55k views on X.
Scratchify Blox 3 (visual scripting, acquired), GUI Editor+ (the UI editor the engine should have shipped) and Blob Lite, the paid predecessor of Canvas, with several hundred copies sold.
Building a pen-tablet receiver from scratch: coil, driver and signal decoding to read the stylus. Alongside it I design circuits and PCBs, and build ESP32 connected devices, a few of which still run at home.
Scan a notebook page or Wacom note and get a lesson, quiz or mind map via LLM-backed vector search. Shelved when NotebookLM came out, but I used it all through Terminale.
Qwen VL fine-tunes for bounding-box grounding, invoice PDF to table with vision models, a Connect Four net, and neural-net car steering with my own pathfinding.
A macOS menu-bar app for school grades, Flappy Bird on Apple Watch, a CO₂ calculator in Swift at 14, and real-time soft-body car physics that found an audience on YouTube.
I read papers and teach myself the field by building and training things.
I read about it, follow what's new, and design my own interfaces.
I keep up with space news: launches, missions and what's coming next.
