What’s your favorite app idea you’ve always wanted to see built?

I am interested in automation, and with the help of AI, it has become much easier to achieve. My goal is to develop an AI-powered application that can automate the work of a ghostwriter, eliminating the need for human writers. Additionally, I am currently working on an app called "Present," which aims to automate influencer marketing. You can expect to see the launch of this app soon.

What’s your favorite app idea you’ve always wanted to see built?

Right now it's the app I'm building, Namesake! In the U.S., it's difficult, costly, and time-consuming to change legal names and gender markers. There's a real opportunity to use technology to streamline the process with more accessible guides, forms, and user-contributed tips—that's exactly what I'm hoping to do with Namesake. Convex has been a great help!

I’m all about experimenting with AI and finding ways to make life easier (and more fun) through code. Outside of work, I’m probably geeking out over the latest tech or brainstorming my next big idea.

What’s your favorite app idea you’ve always wanted to see built?

An app that turns your wildest daydreams into reality. Imagine describing your dream—whether it's flying through the clouds, exploring a hidden city underwater, or hanging out with your favorite fictional characters—and the app uses VR and AI to create an immersive experience that makes it feel real. Because who wouldn’t want to step into their dreams every now and then?

One of my favorite app ideas is TravelPlannerAI, a tool that helps users plan their trips effortlessly. People from around the world have already reached out for collaboration , and nearly 800 travel plans have been created in just the past few months. I’m currently working on expanding the app by adding multi-agent workflows to automate tasks and a community feature to allow users to share their plans and experiences, further enhancing the app’s interactive and collaborative nature.

What’s your favorite app idea you’ve always wanted to see built?

I've always wanted to see an accounting education app built. In America, the most popular college major is business, but accounting education has barely changed for decades. Students still seem to use lectures and textbooks to decipher how new data mutates other data. A student should be able to use software to visualize how, say, depreciation flows through the various financial statements. Software brings a lot to the table: interactivity, branching, multiple cursors, form validation, and of course, an LLM to reason about why you misunderstood something the way you did.

I love building things that make a real impact. For me, coding is more than just writing code—it’s about bringing ideas to life in a way that’s engaging and accessible. I see development as a mix of creativity and logic, shaping intuitive experiences that feel effortless. I enjoy making technology more fun and interactive, whether it’s gamifying experiences, simplifying workflows, or creating personalized solutions. Right now, I’m exploring ways to make digital interactions more human-centered—because great tech should work for people, not the other way around.

What’s your favorite app idea you’ve always wanted to see built?

"I always thought it would be neat to build a vocab-learning app which presents you with a word and its definition, and then tests you along various dimensions to reinforce your understanding of the nuances of that word's usage and connotation. Most vocab-learning apps just present you such information to learn passively, rather than drilling you on e.g. when you should use this word vs another, similar word, or teaching and then testing you on a word's etymology."
