# Projects

Selected work spans a flagship Android title built with heavy AI assistance, plus three public GitHub repositories: a TypeScript user-service demo, a React feature-flag lab, and a Python booking dashboard.

## Echoes: Missing Cat
Flagship
Creator — product direction, narrative beats, Android delivery, and release hygiene

### Stack
Android, Kotlin, Google Play, LLM-assisted workflows, Narrative & pacing

### Pitch
Echoes is a compact mystery on the Play Store: players follow audio and visual echoes to track down a missing cat. The project was a deliberate experiment in how far generative tooling can carry a solo-ish pipeline while still shipping something store-quality with clear accountability for player trust.

### Hardest Problem
Keeping narrative cohesion when drafts, dialog, and even placeholder art moved quickly through AI-assisted iterations. The fix was not “more model” but tighter creative gates: human storyboarding, ruthless cutting, and weekly installs on real hardware so performance and UX regressions never stacked invisibly.

### Outcomes
- Live Google Play listing with store graphics, privacy disclosures, and crash reporting wired in.
- A repeatable build → review → ship cadence that separated experimental branches from store-bound releases.
- Concrete lessons on where LLMs remove toil (copy iteration, asset exploration) versus where they create debt if you skip design ownership.

### AI Pipeline Note
Generative tools accelerated exploration, but compliance, store policy, and player-visible polish stayed explicitly human-owned. If a line ships in the build, a person decided it belonged there — the models only ever proposed.
