PROJECTS
Lovable for mobile games. An agent that turns a plain-English brief into a shipped Flutter game. Smart model routing: cheap models triage, frontier models take over when the work needs real reasoning.

AI meeting assistant that automatically generates summaries and action items from your meetings
A DeFi app written in Flutter, simplifies investing for users to DCA into stable coins
An immersive AI language learning app written in React native
WRITING
