Jade / SyntaxSurge

I like taking a complicated idea and finding the simple, useful product inside it.

My work moves between AI, everyday tools, and on-chain applications. Whether it’s a video editor, a study companion, or a café loyalty experience, I care about the whole thing: what it does, how it feels, and why someone would come back.
