03 / THE AI LAB

How I build.

IDEAS / PROTOTYPES / REVISIONS

I learn by making things I can use.

I use ChatGPT and Codex to explore ideas, develop code, and troubleshoot. I spend a lot of time trying the result, finding what feels off, and making another pass. The terrain experiment here started that way.

  1. 01

    Define the problem

    Start with a specific problem or something I want to try.

  2. 02

    Build a small version

    Build enough to see whether the idea works in practice.

  3. 03

    Test, refine, repeat

    Try it, check the edge cases, and work through what needs fixing.

◼ VOXEL FIELD / EXPERIMENT 001

Adjust. Rotate. See what changes.

04 / OFF THE CLOCK

Take a break.

A garden and a puzzle.
Both run in your browser.

BROWSER GAME / LOGIC

Packet Shift↗

A tiny network with a small problem: too many nodes are lit up. Switch off every node to clear the board.

Selecting a node flips it and its immediate neighbors. There’s no timer—just a little logic.

How to play

Tap or click a square to toggle it and its neighbors above, below, left, and right. Turn all 16 squares dark. Keyboard: Tab between nodes, then Enter or Space to toggle. Every new puzzle is generated from a solved board and can be solved.

Clear the network. Turn every node off.

05 / BEHIND THE SCREEN

Away from the help desk.

I like figuring out how things work, whether that’s a software issue at work or a game idea at home.

This is where I keep the things I make. Some solve a small annoyance; others are simply fun to spend time on.

I’m still adding to the collection. I like simple interfaces, pixel art, and projects that leave room to experiment.
