Entry 01

The intersection

where the two degrees meet

I’m on a dual-degree path — Computer Science on one page, Applied Psychology on the facing page. I keep them in the same notebook on purpose.

I believe the future of technology isn’t just better code — it’s how that code meets a human being. Designing a digital experience with real knowledge of the human mind is the part that actually interests me.

What I’m doing about it, right now:

  • Development — upskilling in full-stack web development and shipping real projects.
  • Research & writing — I write about EdTech, AI, and mental models on Medium.
  • Psychology — gaining practical exposure to clinical settings and case studies.

Experiments & specimens

things I actually built
Freelance · Happy Fashion Feb 2026 — Present

A Shopify store, an audience, and automation that answers back

Built and deployed a production-ready Shopify e-commerce site end to end — storefront setup, product catalog, payment integration, post-launch support and updates. Then grew the audience and wired up customer messaging.

Personal project · Mindwise 2026

Mindwise — free, private mental-health self-checks

A static web app with validated screening questionnaires (GAD-7, PHQ-9, PSS-10) for anxiety, depression, and stress. No login, no backend — answers stay in the browser. This is the CS + Psychology page of the notebook made real.

clippings from Medium
