Projects

// hobby projects — not client work

01 Mythicoria Mythicoria is a platform for "living" companions and the worlds you explore with them. Its core product is not a chat interface, and not a support tool. It is a cast of agents (companions like Aria, and a growing world of characters) whom you get to know. You explore scenarios, learn their way of life and the world they inhabit.

02 Reverse Finebox A club fine box turned inside out. Instead of players paying up for missing training, they earn points for turning up, backing teammates and voting for man of the match — then spend them on rewards. Three role-gated experiences (player, coach, admin), a season rollover that archives the table and resets the board, and an open pilot team anyone can join without a code.

How I ship

Trunk-based, test-first, deployed continuously. You see progress in production, not in slide decks. AI is part of the workflow — agentic engineering with Codex and Claude Code, every line still reviewed and tested.
