What I Build
These are my digital experiments—tools, toys, and projects built in the spirit of the old
internet. They're not polished products. They're not monetized platforms. They're just things
I made because I wanted to make them.
Some are useful. Some are silly. All are built with the aesthetic and philosophy of Web 1.0.
