Act III · Philosophy & Trajectory

A little about me.

I like finding an easier way to do things. Sometimes that turns into an app; sometimes it means learning something new.

Right now, I'm taking a gap year before starting university, and I haven't attended any colleges yet. I chose to dedicate this year entirely to building real-world products, expanding my horizons, and applying to colleges abroad for Fall 2027.

When I work with a team, I care about clear communication, taking responsibility, and helping everyone move forward.

Cosmic Curiosity

The Solar System & Systems Thinking

Ever since childhood, I have had a deep fascination with space, planetary mechanics, and the quiet precision of the solar system. Watching how massive celestial bodies stay in perfect orbital balance taught me early on how individual parts harmonize into vast systems. That same wonder shapes how I approach software: crafting architectures where complex pieces communicate smoothly and effortlessly.

Behind Barok Labs

Some of my projects started with a problem close to home: wanting to get organized, helping my sister with her writing, or building a reminder app for my dad. Getting something I had struggled with into other people’s hands made me want to keep going.

Barok Labs is the studio I founded for my products and client projects. It brings those different pieces of work together under one name.
