Come walk through my year, the wins, the mistakes, every pivot along the way.
When I started this year, I wanted four paid engagements, charities and small businesses, building them AI that took the weight off their day-to-day. I didn't get there, by choice. Mentor feedback steered me toward going deep on the craft itself, the mastery side, and that's where the real benefit ended up. What's on this page is what came out of that pivot, thirteen real projects, what they did for the people on the receiving end, and the calls I made along the way that I'm still thinking about.
Walk through it with me. Most of the work happened away from the keyboard, what's here is the part that left a digital trace.
A year of learning, made visible.
Numbers don't tell the whole journey, but they set the floor.
A Year-11 student from Adelaide. Eighteen months of work, made auditable in public.
What I burned through to get here.
Eighteen months chasing what's real. Most of these I tried hard, a few I'm still using daily, and a couple I dropped mid-experiment. Hover anything to see what it is.
After all of them, here's what I'm finally figuring out.
The real deal isn't the model. It's the loop you build around it.

Pick whichever feels right. They're all surfaces over the same underlying work — different angles for different visitors.
13 bodies of work, the wins, the mistakes, the calls I made.
Each tile is a real project. Some shipped, some I walked away from when the ethics didn't sit right, some had honest endings. All of them taught me something. Click any one to read what changed for the charity, the executive, or the cause it was built for, and what I came away with.

Welcome.
This is the public face of my AIF — the work I’ve done, organised by endeavour. Built so a moderator, a stranger, or a future me can land here cold and find their way around. Take 30 seconds to see how it’s laid out.
