Hi, I'm Ian.
I turn everyday problems into useful little systems.
I'm a UC Santa Cruz Computer Science graduate building thoughtful web products, AI-assisted experiments, and privacy-minded tools for real people—often from the server in my own home.

Tools change.
Curiosity sticks.
How I build
Vibe first.
Then make it real.
I use AI to prototype quickly, then I slow down: test the edges, understand the code, protect the data, and own what ships.
A tiny timeline
Still becoming.
Have a problem worth untangling?
