EISH! I SPEND TOO MUCH
I couldn't understand where my money is going, so I built an app which uses AI to look at my bank statement and turn my tranasctions into a gamified experience of sorting transactions. I now know that I spend a lot on food.
ALWAYS ZEN (FAILED EXPERIMENT)
I created a macOS app for inspirational quotes in the status bar. Built in 24 hours using Swift and GPT-4, but failed to generate revenue or gain meaningful traction. No longer active - learned valuable lessons about product-market fit.
❌ Failed to monetize - Site no longer active
CHEAP FEEDBACK (FAILED EXPERIMENT)
Built a low-cost alternative to Gleap for gathering user feedback. Despite the clever name and free tech stack, failed to acquire paying users or create sustainable revenue. No longer active.
❌ Failed to gain traction - Site no longer active
QUIT VAPING (FAILED EXPERIMENT)
Built a behavioral accountability system where my sister could charge my credit card when she caught me vaping. Earned some revenue in first 30 days but failed to scale or help others. No longer active - but it did help me quit vaping!
❌ Failed to scale - Site no longer active (but I did quit vaping!)
ARBIMATE - CRYPTO ARBITRAGE SCANNER
Built while staying at my parents' house in the USA in 2024, uncertain about life direction. Real-time arbitrage scanner for cryptocurrencies across multiple exchanges. Now my most successful product with 8,000+ users and active subscriptions. Currently enhancing to provide cheaper, more accurate exchange data.
✅ Currently Active - Visit Arbimate
My only successful product from the entrepreneurial experiments
COUNTERAI - CALORIE TRACKING (NO LONGER MINE)
Built in 2024 through Lyemac while connected with OnLoop team in Singapore. AI-powered calorie tracking app using computer vision and generative AI with 'Future You' body simulation feature. Generated $10,000+ revenue in first 90 days but is no longer part of my portfolio.
