🌟 You never lose — either you win, or you learn.

👋 About

🔭 Building AI products solo — Voice AI, AI agents, and tools for independent people (see below)
🌍 I love living around the world — observing it with curiosity, documenting my journey, and taking on long-distance treks (follow along on Polarsteps)
🧰 Go · Python · TypeScript · Kubernetes · Cloud Native · LLM & Agent frameworks
✍️ Essays on AI agents, engineering, and personal growth — bilingual at cubxxw.com
💡 Operating belief: AI + Human = Superhuman

🛠️ Building Now

Everything below is built in public — the wins and the dead ends both get written up on the blog.

Product	What it is
Telepace	Customer-research infrastructure powered by Voice AI + Agents
Apply Agent	An open, client-side AI job-search copilot — discover → tailor → apply → interview prep → track
Solo Compass	A living map for solo travelers — map-first, experience-as-unit, AI-curated
DayPage	A daily page for reflection — one day, one page

New things ship here first. A ⭐ on anything above tells me what to build more of.
