AI Agent Architect ยท Full-stack Engineer ยท AI Builder. Auckland, New Zealand.
I architect AI agents, ship full-stack platforms end-to-end, and teach others to do the same. Building at the intersection of AI, cultural technology, and women's health.
Open to founding-team / staff-IC / AI architecture engagements starting Q3 2026.

Five products I build and run myself: a news-search tool for AI assistants, a notification system for AI coding tools, a language that turns text into floor plans, an AI design studio for architects, and an AI resume writer.
Open source (MIT) โ solo author and maintainer.
Lets AI assistants like Claude search live Google News โ sorted into topics, in 10 languages. One of the first tools built for Anthropic's Model Context Protocol: shipped 35 days after the standard launched, and it's now listed across 15+ MCP directories.

Claude Code ยท 
Cursor ยท 
OpenAI Codex.
A notification system for AI coding assistants โ Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex โ that you install and set up just by talking to the AI in plain English. It plays sounds, reads the agent's reply aloud, warns you before you hit usage limits, and shows a live status bar.
Describe a floor plan in plain text โ walls, rooms, doors, windows โ and get a precise, dimensioned architectural drawing back. Change one number and exactly one thing moves. It also checks that a plan is actually livable, and powers ArchCanvas, an AI design agent.
An AI design agent for architects and self-builders: describe a building in plain words and it designs a dimensioned floor plan you can actually build from, plus a realistic rendering โ then you refine it by talking, on an infinite zoomable canvas.
Paste a job ad and describe your background โ it writes a resume and cover letter tailored to that job and builds them into a polished PDF in about 30 seconds. Works from a browser, the command line, or inside an AI assistant.
Systems I built for real clients โ a Delaware startup, an independent Mฤori-led AI research commission, New Zealand's leading women-in-STEM charity, a women's-health-tech community in China, and an Auckland food festival โ all still running today. I'm GAVIGO's Founding Principal Engineer, She Sharp's Senior Full Stack Engineer & Website Team Lead, and FemTech Weekend's CTO.
GAVIGO Inc. (Delaware C-Corp; Founder & CEO: Saba Gecgil).
Founding-engineer build for GAVIGO, a Delaware startup: tap a game or short video in a phone feed and it plays instantly โ no app install, no loading wait. An AI scheduler pre-warms content on Kubernetes, so a tapped game resumes in under 1 ms, already warm 84.6% of the time.

Riria (Missy) Te Kanawa โ an independent research commission from her personally.
A te reo Mฤori AI coach for financial wellbeing, built on the Mฤori holistic-health model Te Whare Tapa Whฤ โ encoded in the database, not added as decoration. A 19-person research cohort used it over four months: voice coaching plus 181 bilingual journal entries.
She Sharp (NZ charitable trust CC57025, NZBN 9429047458970, founded 4 June 2019 by Dr Mahsa Mohaghegh / McCauley โ community programming since 2014).
The member platform for New Zealand's leading women-in-STEM charity โ solo-built over a year, replacing spreadsheets and a drag-and-drop website with one system for member sign-ups, events, and mentor matching that pairs AI scoring with human review.

FemTech Weekend (Chengdu, China; founded 2024 by Zhu Yihan; positioned publicly as China's representative for cross-border women's-health initiatives).
The bilingual website and sign-up system for FemTech Weekend โ China's first women's-health-tech community โ which carried Shanghai Summit 2026 and its 20 confirmed speakers, led by Ida Tin, who coined the term FemTech.

The live website for Eatropolis, Auckland's one-day food festival โ 30+ award-winning chefs at Shed 10 on 10 Oct 2026. Solo-built in a 9-day sprint: an accessible (WCAG 2.2 AA) site with a voice-enabled AI event guide that passed a 1,000-visitor load test with zero errors.
Everything else I build and maintain beyond the featured work above โ my own tools, games, and products, most of them open source.
 |
server-google-jobs | The companion to the Google News server: lets AI assistants search Google job listings in English, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. Built 36 days after MCP's launch โ early enough that the founders of two major MCP catalogs contributed code to it. |
 |
AI Programming Education Platform (programming.chanmeng.org) | A public website that teaches beginners to build software with AI โ three years of cohorts kept side by side (five course versions, three running in 2026), plus an in-site AI tutor that answers from each class's own lessons and a Demo Day page for students' finished projects. |
 |
gradient-svg-generator (Chromaflow) | Paste one URL into any GitHub README and a live animated banner appears, no install. 355 free, open-source banner designs power every badge in this profile. |
 |
github-readme-suno-cards | Turns any Suno creator's AI-generated songs into animated cards for their GitHub profile โ kept up to date automatically. 12 built-in styles, correct display of Chinese/Japanese/Korean titles, and a one-line setup that syncs a whole catalog. โณ Related: Seismophone |
 |
Seismophone | Seismophone (repo: sunostats) is an independent observatory for AI-generated music. It measures Suno from the outside and publishes free readings the platform hides: proof its "trending" chart froze in 2024, and a rare map of who remixes whom from a since-closed data gap. |

1 Architect production AI agents. Multi-model orchestration, LangGraph + CopilotKit + MCP, bilingual cultural framing where domain concepts live in the schema, not in UI stickers.
2 Ship full-stack platforms end-to-end. Next.js + Supabase + Stripe + Drizzle SaaS that survives architectural pivots โ multi-tenant isolation, RLS, cross-cloud Kubernetes with sub-millisecond p50 activation latency.
3 Build multi-surface AI infrastructure and teach it. Single backend, multiple surfaces (React SPA + HTTP API + MCP + CLI) with feature parity. Teaching doctrine: natural language is the source code.

Field reports written while building the thing they describe โ what the decision was, what broke, and what I'd do again. Everything below is self-hosted; nothing is behind a platform login.
| Jul 2026 | The Explore Feed That Froze Investigative data piece: Suno's public /api/trending endpoint has returned the same 49 songs โ all created in mid-September 2024 โ for roughly 22 months. |
| Jul 2026 | Neon Auth Email Verification & Password Reset Wiring Neon Auth's email-OTP verification and password-reset flows into a React + TypeScript frontend โ the part Neon's dashboard enables but does not document: the type gap, the form state machine, and gating on emailVerified. |
