About

I’ve been building projects since I was in high school for creative outlets, with my first app being released in 2015 (a virtual pet game) and have just continued on from there. I’m an illustrator by trade by have shifted towards software development while applying the creativity I learned from painting. I love coming up with ideas!

ForgeIndex - A curated directory of open-source and local AI tools

ForgeIndex is a curated directory of open-source and local AI tools. It’s built for developers, hobbyists, and privacy focused users who want to discover AI projects they can run locally, without wading through social media, hype, or paywalled lists. Recently added: topic-based browsing, clearer categorization, and faster discovery without requiring accounts or sign ups.
