Current Direction

Living and Learning in China

I’m currently living in China and pursuing an undergraduate degree at Duke Kunshan University.

I’m observing, admiring, and learning from China’s rapid technological development alongside its distinctive cultural character. I hope to combine that perspective with what I learn at university and through Auric to make a positive impact through my work and what I share.

Since 2016, I’ve explored and released free-use software while working across programming, computer architecture, product and architectural design, spacecraft design, and web experience. That breadth continues to shape the work documented here.

Where It Started

DiskNet

DiskNet was the first thing I ever created on a computer. It was supposed to be a software development organization and community, but it mostly ended up being just me making random things for fun.

I built it when I was around 8 to 10 years old in 2016-2018, with very low computer knowledge at the time. The site itself was extremely barebones HTML/CSS, so nothing there should be expected to be technically impressive.

Some JavaScript snippets on the site came from developer websites, but the content was mine, and the Windows programs uploaded there were written by me in VB.NET and C#.

Open Original Site

  • DiskNet Web Browser

    My early attempt at a barebones IE-powered web browser written in Visual Basic and the .NET Framework, built for Windows machines.

  • CodePure

    A super simple barebones HTML/CSS/JS editor with a preview box and not much else.

  • T#

    My silly attempt at making an interpreted programming language in either VB.NET or C#.

  • DiskNet Search

    A search page on DiskNet itself that used JavaScript to search through a bunch of items.
