A music player built because I wanted one that actually looked nice.
Next.js • React • Tailwind CSS
- Animated album art that feels alive
- Playlist management with fluid transitions
- Dark, modern UI with attention to micro-interactions
currently under construction — which is a fancy way of saying I break it daily and learn something new every time.

}- Finish my portfolio (the current version is 6 months old)
- Push code even when I'm scared it's not perfect
- Contribute to open source for real this time
- Learn Electron and build something desktop-y
- Stop starting new projects before finishing old ones (jk, this is impossible)
- Docker
- Testing (maybe next year)
- Actually reading TypeScript errors instead of guessing
- A music player that genuinely feels like an experience
- A game that makes people feel things
- A cozy desktop app I'd actually use
- Random experimental websites that serve no purpose but look cool
- Anything with smooth animations and a dark toggle
