Some of these already work. Some are still mostly questions. All of them started with something I couldn’t leave alone.

Working

Academic Schedule Manager

I built ASM because choosing a university schedule should not require rebuilding your whole life around it.

What bothered me
Picking courses sounded simple until I tried to fit university around work and the rest of my life. The information was scattered, conflicts appeared late, and every choice affected something else.
What I realized
I did not need another timetable. I needed to see my real options before committing to one—and understand what I would gain or give up with each choice.
What I’m building
ASM takes the course data, the constraints that actually matter, and the student’s priorities. It generates schedules that can be compared instead of making someone assemble one blindly.
Where it is now
The core system works. It generates and ranks possible schedules, and the interface makes them easier to compare. This is the first WIP project that became something I can actually use.
Next
Build Phase 2: the Academic Year Planner. The chosen timetable will continue into a week-and-month planning space that also holds exam dates, reminders, assignments, and papers—so the schedule becomes something I can actually use to prepare for the semester ahead.

Start with the real constraints. Work out what is possible. Leave the final decision to the person making it.

Thinking

Forecast

I want to know how much money is actually free at any point in time—not just what happens to be sitting in my account that day.

Building

Daily Rhythm

I kept noticing that the same plan could feel easy one week and impossible the next. I want to understand that pattern instead of fighting it.

The Problem Box

What isn’t working?

Not a feature request. Not a vague idea. Something that genuinely is not working.

Solved

I do not promise I will solve it. I promise I will think about it.

No pitch needed. Just tell me what is getting in the way.

About WIP

What am I doing here?

I notice what isn’t working.Then I need to understand why.

WIP is basically my mind on a page. It is where I keep the problems I’m thinking about, the systems I’m trying to build, and the parts I still haven’t figured out.

I’m a technical writer, a builder, and now a student of information and AI. I care about making complicated things understandable—but I’m also deeply curious about why they became complicated in the first place.

This is not a collection of polished endings. It is the work while it is still alive.
