I like not knowing how yet.

A classroom app with a built-in AI assistant. Teachers make classes and post assignments; students join with a code and hand work in. The assistant (Claude) keeps everyone's tasks and calendar, say "quiz Friday at 3" and it's scheduled, and reads uploaded PDFs to pull out due dates and to-dos. Installable as an app, with push reminders and email verification.

Shows: the most I've taken on at once: accounts and roles, streaming AI with tool use, file uploads, email, push notifications. And it's live with real students.

sign up as a student with class code 24CJNH, demo accounts are cleaned up automatically

Turn-based Naruto battle simulator with 48 characters, status effects, clones, and AI opponents that each fight with a different personality: aggressive, defensive, supportive.

Shows: picking up TypeScript and React from scratch, then going deep: a full turn engine and a scoring-based AI, not a tutorial app.

Test-taking platform for a tutoring service I run. Students take level tests in the browser; an admin side handles uploading tests, editing questions, and reviewing submissions. Live, with real students on it.

Shows: keeping something running for real users. When it breaks, I'm the one who fixes it.

Online multiplayer Coup with 4-letter room codes. Bluffing, challenges, blocks, refresh-safe rejoin, an optional Inquisitor expansion and a turn timer so nobody stalls the game.

Shows: first time with real-time networking. Learned Socket.IO and server-authoritative state by building it.

Mafia for a group with one phone. No accounts, no install. Pass the phone for role reveal, then it narrates the night and day phases.

Shows: caring about the player, not just the code. The whole design problem is one phone that can't leak secrets.
