Kronos AI

A comprehensive GenAI Image Creation and sharing platform built during my bachelors. This started in a Web-Tech course, but became my hobby project for a year. The site features advanced image generation capabilities using external APIs, community sharing features, and a robust backend architecture. I shut it down in late 2025 due to high costs of image generation APIs. All in all a great learning experience!

Yaply

Prototype of a revolutionary language learning app. Built with React Native for a mobile-first experience, integrating Generative AI to create infinite contextual roleplay simulations for immersive learning. Led the tech stack selection, architecture design, and MVP development to validate market fit. Currently in closed beta with initial user feedback being gathered. I will however step down from my role here soon to focus on other projects. I'm proud of what we've built so far though, and learned valuable lessons about startup methodology along the way!
