So this is my portfolio site where I wanted to share some ideas, projects and the things I build that solve my own tech problems. Some of these experiments have/will get published here. I follow the ideas that focus my attention. Right now, it's a book on hex colours, simulated economies in the form of a browser game, and maybe something involving Greg (my AI propject).. excited to see how these play out on a longer term. I'm also exploring ideas for the upcoming NASA Space Apps Challenge.

Got into code young through things like Neopets, and Bebo customs. Built basic sites before age 10 — they weren't great, but I enjoyed tweaking wee things.
Early college years, Built small sites for locals, side hustles, and startup projects. Gained confidence working with clients and refining frontend skills. Also ventured into PC building & hardware at this time.
Built dynamic websites and CMS platforms from scratch using PHP and MySQL. Could've used WordPress — but nah, I was adamant to code from scratch 🙈.
Studied at Napier and Abertay. Focused on design, digital media, and storytelling. Being creative with pushing UX and design constraints.

Building niche tools, AI-powered workflows. Storytelling through YouTube — turning experiments, games, and side projects into shareable content. Blending automation, design, personality into tools, apps, and systems.
Some skills I've picked up — and keep refining
Languages, tools, and techniques I've learned over time — and continue to explore.
