About

UdagLab is a playground, not a portfolio. Each project here is an experiment some became real products, some fizzled out, and all of them taught me something worth keeping. They run on whatever stack felt fun at the time: Nuxt, Next, React, Go, WordPress, and more.

If you want the polished version of me, that lives over at the portfolio. This is the messy workbench.

Workbench

I build everything from the terminal on Linux. Not because it makes me hardcore. I just got used to it and going back feels weird. Neovim for editing, Opencode when I want an extra brain, and herdr so my sessions don't spiral out of control.

Linux + terminal
My whole workflow lives in the shell. Fast, keyboard-driven, and exactly the way I like it.
Neovim
Where all the actual typing happens.
Opencode
The AI assistant I bounce ideas off and write code with.
herdr
An AI-driven terminal multiplexer with its own session and PTY management.

If you're curious about the setup, you can check my Neovim config.
