I’m building Kodo - an AI design platform for creating and editing visual work.
An AI design platform that makes professional, editable design accessible to everyone. Scaled to 28,000 users, received a grant from a16z, and launched on Product Hunt as the #3 Product of the Day. Still working on it.

Founders, Inc. ↗Read the article ↗My first real project. Spent about one to two months building an AI agent, launched it in June, reached around 800-1,000 signups, then pivoted that summer.
EO interview ↗Built my first app in a few days to learn about AI agents. Upload a photo of yourself and clothing, and it showed what you could look like wearing it. Never launched it - it was a learning project.
After five failed attempts, a weather balloon reached 50,000 feet during the solar eclipse, then 100,000 feet a month later. The eclipse launch was on CNN. In March 2025, I livestreamed my final launch using Starlink before the stream cut off at around 50,000 feet.
Ran a slime business through grade 6 and sold slime through a candy store, a bakery, and my local convenience store.
Built a solar panel charger that could power a phone through a power bank in grade 5.
Built an early drone prototype using DC motors in grade 4.
