What I do
Your next
project needs
someone who can
ship the
unusual.

Contract work across time zones. I charge for outcomes, not hours.

01
Micro-Startup Studio
Napkin sketch to live product in weeks. Full stack, designed, deployed, and shaped around a clear commercial outcome.
02
AI Automation
Audit → build. AI agents and integrations for phone reception, quote pipelines, client comms, intake, reporting, and admin.
03
Bespoke Web & Apps
WebGL, spatial interfaces, eCommerce, dashboards, and native-feeling apps. Built around the business, not a template.
04
Complex & Unusual
OS kernels, compilers, browser runtimes, AI agents, CRMs, and cybersecurity tooling. Product, design, and infrastructure together.

story

my favorite thing is chasing new experiences and sharing them with others. i do that through software, which i've been building since i was 8. i'm drawn to the frontier, i started making money online and playing with crypto at 11, and i was one of the first to try gpt-3 in 2021. since then, i dropped out of high school and founded tsc.hk, where i make the frontier. outside of that, i adore philosophy, cooking, photography, and gym.
