Things I Like
Curiosity in, product out.
I turn personal obsessions into real products. Right now, that's podcasts.

The Challenge
Podcasts are too long and there's no way to search them.
I like listening to podcasts as a learning resource, but most insightful episodes run 30 minutes to over an hour. Apple Podcasts shows real-time transcripts, but offers no way to summarize them, search across episodes, or ask AI questions about what was said.
Approach
Build a personal podcast app that turns raw audio into searchable, scorable intelligence — updated daily.

How I Built It
Full-stack, solo build.
