Side Projects

Beyond my professional work, I've always been driven to build things on the side. From startup ventures to personal experiments, these projects reflect myentrepreneurial spirit and desire to explore new ideas. I believe that to truly learn and progress, you need real problems to solve— and real projects are the best way to find them.

  • Color Conquest

    Spring 2026

    Founder

    Browser-based, location-aware PvP game where players claim a permanent color identity and stake a real-world location, then battle for territory — winning absorbs an opponent's colors while losing drains your own. A three-stat (Glow, Spark, Heat) rock-paper-scissors combat system, PvE bots for progression, and a daily "counterforce" mechanic keep any single player from dominating forever.
