Code & Play

I design by day and vibe-code by night — turning ideas into small games, tools, and experiments. Here’s my work beyond user interfaces.

“Imagination is Play.” — Toy Story 5

Ideas & Experiments

Vibe coding

01

Tiny Office

Remote working can be incredibly lonely and isolating. I really miss the feeling of being in an office and interacting with my co-workers — so I built this small game to invite my coworkers to play with me. Your avatar's location becomes your status: desk means focus, coffee means open to chat, and the brass key by the door ends your workday with a tiny ritual.

PicklePal

I just started playing pickleball and I'm hooked — but as a true beginner, I'm too nervous to join open play with more advanced players. So I vibe-coded the app I wish existed: a Duolingo-style pickleball companion with bite-size lessons, an adaptive 4-week plan, and matching that only pairs you with fellow beginners.
