Ask the site

shipped

A language model with this whole site as its system prompt. Each message is routed through OpenRouter's free-tier router, which picks a random free model per request — the chat reports back which one answered. Ask it about my work, projects, or education; it'll answer from its notes and admit when something isn't in them.

Human or animal?

shipped

The first AI project I worked on — a tiny CNN that decides whether a scanned figure is a human or an animal. Originally MATLAB; rewrote the training in PyTorch and exported to ONNX so it runs entirely in your browser, with a layer-by-layer walkthrough of the network.
