I turn complexityinto systems
Designer and builder at the intersection of physical products and AI. I make tools for thinking, create systems for doing, and write about what I learn along the way.
Things I've built.
Things I'm building.
PKS Core
A knowledge management tool with voice input, OCR, RAG-powered chat, and a dialectic “Time Radio” feature that challenges your own thinking. Built with React, TypeScript, and Supabase.
Coach AI
A language practice tool that uses real meeting transcripts to create contextual exercises. Three Gemini models handle scenario generation, coaching, and evaluation.

A decade of physical product work — from kitchen tools to consumer electronics. Design thinking applied to atoms, not just bits.
Thinking out loud.
Selected essays from my Substack — on learning, building, and the systems behind both.
Static Friction — What I Learned in 12 Weeks of AI
On the force needed to start moving, and why structured learning programs work when self-study doesn’t.

Building a tool that argues with your past self, and why that’s the most useful kind of AI.

the systems.
I'm a designer and builder based in Taiwan with a background in industrial design and mechanical engineering. For the past decade, I've worked on physical products — from kitchen tools to consumer electronics — learning how complex things get made.
More recently, I've been building at the intersection of AI and personal knowledge systems. I believe the most powerful tools are the ones that help you think better, not just do more. That belief drives everything I build and write about.
IdeaMeka connects these worlds: industrial design thinking (ID), personal identity and voice (ME), and the spark of making things real (KA).
“I seek complete freedom — from spirit and meaning at the core, through mind, body, and action, to choice and wealth in the world.”
Want to build
something together?
Whether it's a product idea, a collaboration, or just a conversation about systems thinking — I'd love to hear from you.
Currently open to consulting projects and creative collaborations.
