Psycho

Developer, designer & thinker

I design and build small, careful things for the web, and think a little too long about why they feel the way they do.

About

I build things people actually talk to. Most of my work lives inside Telegram: TapLM, an AI that argues back instead of agreeing to be polite, and Vuwi, a companion who remembers you and texts first. I'm interested in the space between software that answers a question and software that feels like there's someone on the other side.

I ship the whole thing myself. Bots in TypeScript and Python, data in PostgreSQL and MongoDB, and landing pages in Next.js. On the interface side, I work in Figma, build with React and Tailwind CSS, keep my code on GitHub, and deploy through Vercel. I like understanding how the pieces fit together, not just getting them to work in isolation.

My approach is simple: build first, understand deeply, refine relentlessly. I like taking an idea that exists only as a sentence and turning it into something people can actually use, including the unglamorous parts, like figuring out why something broke at 2 AM.

I'm particularly interested in the human side of technology. Why do people want to be understood? What makes an interaction feel natural? And if a machine can remember someone, respond with personality, and initiate a conversation, what does it actually mean for that interaction to feel genuine? I pay attention to the small things: how long a reply takes, how an error message sounds, the pause before a bot says something that matters.

I'm still learning, experimenting, and changing my mind. I'd rather build fewer things, understand them deeply, and give people a reason to care about them. I'd rather ship one thing that feels alive than ten that just work.
