Things I build for fun.

Context Cannon

CLI tool that bundles your codebase into a single LLM-ready context payload with real-time token counting and a one-click copy dashboard.

Log

Bangkok & Ayutthaya
travel2025

Bangkok & Ayutthaya

Thailand

Visited Bangkok and Ayutthaya exploring thrift malls (very fun), temples, and Thai culture. I loved meeting new people, learning a little bit of Thai, and hanging out with friends.

Shanghai, Chengdu, Beijing & Xi'an
travel2025

Shanghai, Chengdu, Beijing & Xi'an

China

Four cities, four completely different registers of China. Took the classic tourist route hitting the Great Wall, Terracotta Warriors, and forbidden palace. However, I took a more untraditional approach, making a larger effort to speak to locals.

Key West
travel2024

Key West

Florida Keys, USA

Escaped the New England winter with a trip to the end of the road. Live music on Duval Street, that specific golden-hour light over the water, and the kind of family time that only happens when everyone's far from home.

Coastal Taiwan

Coastal Taiwan

Taiwan

Toured Taiwan's coast eating constantly. Loved the xiang chang, tanghulu, and meeting local students.

travel2023

Budapest & the Countryside

Hungary

Reconnecting with my family and living the countryside life. Loved long bike rides, working on the farm, and visiting the vineyard. Grateful to have a place that will always feel like home to me.
