I build AI tools that make everyday work easier, and I'm looking to spend summer 2027 working directly with a founder at an AI startup.

Aidan HQ

A personal AI operating system I designed and built in November 2026.

I was juggling Canvas deadlines, workouts, food tracking and a dozen half-used apps, so I built one place for all of it. It installs on my iPhone like a normal app.

  • Talk to it. "Had a chicken bowl, remind me to call my mom at 6, I prayed this morning" becomes a food log, a reminder and a checked-off habit. It shows me what it understood and asks before saving.
  • Connected. Pulls assignments and grades from Canvas, recovery, sleep and steps from WHOOP, and my schedule from Google Calendar.
  • Proactive. Sends scheduled push notifications: a morning summary, study reminders, and a nudge on the one thing I committed to that day.
  • Private. Server-side passcode login, plus a second lock for anything sensitive.

I'm an economics student, not a CS major. I built it with Claude as my coding partner, and I can walk through how every piece fits together.
