  Windows XP Retro Gaming Machine

  A retro build focused on nostalgia, constraints, and hardware-software compatibility.

  What I Built

  A functional Windows XP retro gaming setup with curated titles and stable driver environment.

  Why I Built It

  To study constrained systems and rediscover interaction patterns from earlier gaming eras.

  System Structure

  Hardware compatibility matrix, version-locked software stack, and controlled update boundaries.

  What I Learned

  Constraints can sharpen design judgment and expose hidden assumptions in modern workflows.

  Mechanical Keyboard Builds

  Ongoing builds exploring ergonomics, acoustics, and interaction feedback loops.

  What I Built

  Custom keyboard builds with iterative switch, layout, and damping configurations.

  Why I Built It

  To understand how tactile systems shape flow, focus, and behavior over long sessions.

  System Structure

  Modular components with repeatable testing protocol across layout and sound profiles.

  What I Learned

  Small feedback changes can produce outsized effects on sustained productivity.

  Cognitive Exercise Prototype

  A prototype framework for adaptive cognitive tasks with versioned mechanics.

  What I Built

  A prototype suite for configurable cognitive exercises and adaptive scoring logic.

  Why I Built It

  To explore how adaptive systems can personalize challenge without increasing cognitive load.

  System Structure

  Task engine, scoring layer, and configurable progression profile definitions.

  What I Learned

  Adaptivity must remain legible to users to build confidence and trust.

  Agentic Quiz Pipeline Experiment

  A multi-agent orchestration experiment for reliable question generation.

  What I Built

  A staged pipeline that separates retrieval, synthesis, critique, and output assembly.

  Why I Built It

  To improve quality control and traceability in generated quiz content.

  System Structure

  Role-specific agents with score thresholds and handoff checkpoints.

  What I Learned

  Orchestration design matters as much as model capability in agentic systems.

  AI Interface Prototypes

  Rapid interaction explorations for conversational and intent-driven product flows.

  What I Built

  A set of lightweight prototypes testing state visibility and fallback behavior in AI interfaces.

  Why I Built It

  To identify practical interaction patterns before deeper product integration.

  System Structure

  Shared conversation state model with explicit fallback and escalation paths.

  What I Learned

  Explainability and recoverability are baseline requirements for AI UX.
