Exploding creativity,
captured by technical skill.
Building with AI takes two things: technical depth and broad knowledge. I bring both. A CS degree with machine learning means I understand AI from the inside; philosophy, psychology, and music give me range. The results are below: entire websites and government datasets scraped, hundreds of images generated and animated, an AI secretary that runs my calendar — all built fast, and most of it is live on this page, working — try it.
Live · used dailyAI Agent Calendar Secretary
I built a full calendar + to-do system, then gave it an AI agent. "Add all the Jewish holidays" — done. It plans my days and tells me what's coming.

A piano that lights up its own keys to teach you — real LEDs, real piano, real time.

A real steel tongue drum on your phone — twenty scales across four drums, every strike synthesized in real time, chord mode so you hear the harmony instead of hunting for it.
▶ Playable demoDrum Teacher
An interactive tutor that takes you from zero to your first real drum beats — seven nearly wordless lessons on a step grid, every sound synthesized live in the browser.
▶ Playable demoZeno's Paradox
The first lesson of calculus as a game — drag a vase-painting runner down a number line where every jump covers half of what's left, and discover the only way he ever arrives is t → ∞.
LiveAudiobooks Factory
A server that finds any book and reads it to me — fully automated, end to end.
▶ Playable demoAcademy
A tablet that teaches ages 2–18, built on Piaget's developmental psychology — and my crash course in image generation and animation: hundreds of objects generated and brought to life.
▶ Playable demoWhat is Space?
An animated walk from a single lonely point to all of three-dimensional space — scale one arrow, add another, and discover what a vector space actually is. Double-click the space for a hidden arcade.
▶ Playable demoAt the Speed of Light
How does a cup in Israel reach a friend in America in a blink? Follow it down the ladder — picture, numbers, ones and zeros, light — through a cable on the ocean floor and back up to meaning. Double-tap the ocean for a hidden arcade.
