Projects

01 / Storyhero

storyheroapp.com · Co-founder · 2025

Storyhero is a storytelling app for families and classrooms, where children become the heroes of their own illustrated and narrated stories. I co-founded it with Aydin Ilhan around the idea that parents and educators should be able to create genuinely engaging stories without preparation. The app generates a complete story from a short prompt in under a minute, with illustrations, narration, and learning activities built in. The feature that lands hardest is the avatar layer: drop in a photo and your child's face becomes the hero of the adventure.

02 / Griva

griva.app · Founder · 2026

Griva is a memory and execution layer for people who can't afford to forget things. It captures voice notes, photos, meeting promises, and half-formed ideas in whatever form they arrive, surfaces the right context automatically, and acts on what's been captured. The name comes from the Old English gerefa: the person a king trusted to attend every meeting, remember every obligation, and ensure nothing went unmet. I'm building it as a solo founder, and it's currently accepting early-access users on the waitlist.

03 / Roundly

joinroundly.com · Co-founder · 2026

Roundly is a live audio room for books and fandoms: readers can step into a conversation about any story they follow with one click, no download, straight from wherever they're reading. I'm co-founding it with Aydin Ilhan, my co-founder on StoryHero, built on the observation that the devotion inside fan communities on Wattpad, Kindle, and similar platforms has nowhere to go in real time. Authors can host their own Roundly and bring in superfans or voice actors to perform scenes, while listeners follow along live or catch up via transcript. We're in the POC stage and testing the core experience now.

04 / Rita

rita.thitsa.io · Built with ThitsaWorks · 2026

Rita is a knowledge assistant for professionals working on Inclusive Instant Payment Systems. I built it with ThitsaWorks, who had accumulated six-plus years of IIPS expertise across more than ten countries and needed a way to give their clients direct access to it. Rita answers questions in English and French, cites every source it draws from, and runs in production for central banks, regulators, and payment operators across emerging markets.

05 / ZauberCleaner

github.com/TomNyein/ZauberCleaner · Developer · 2026

ZauberCleaner started as a cleanup problem I kept hitting on my MacBook. A general disk cleaner won't find Turborepo cache, pnpm store, Xcode DerivedData, or CocoaPods downloads — the directories that developer tools create quietly, that you never think of again. After running du -sh and finding over 90 GB I hadn't accounted for, I rebuilt a previous SwiftUI experiment from scratch in Electron and React: fourteen cleanup categories across six groups, each with a safety badge, and a detail view listing every folder with its size before anything is removed. Free to download, source on GitHub.
