I’m building APIForgeKit, a local lab for testing APIs and deterministic algorithms before asking AI to implement anything.https://github.com/maxishida/APIForgeKit
The flow is simple:
Instead of sending scattered docs, screenshots, errors, and guesses to Codex, Claude, or Gemini, APIForgeKit turns real behavior into organized evidence.
It helps validate:
external APIs
webhooks
deterministic algorithms
token cost
latency and logs
real payloads
responses and errors
The key difference is ACP + SKILL.md.
That means an agent can follow a protocol:
run the right test
save evidence
generate context
only then suggest implementation
A normal API tester shows a response.
APIForgeKit turns that response into reusable context for AI.
Less guessing.
Less rework.
Fewer tokens.
More evidence before coding.

there's something so hauntingly beautiful & poignant about incorporating the nirvana unplugged performance in this, definitely evocative of what power music holds & asks the viewer to really sit with the idea of art in all forms to think about preservation of humanity's true essence in the future. great stuff!
Built a complete multi-page digital experience using Google Stitch.
For this project, I designed and prototyped Eternal Maven, a modern AI and technology agency website focused on communicating technical expertise, credibility, and premium brand positioning.
What I created:
• Homepage with a bold, future-focused visual identity
• AI Development, Web Development, and Solutions pages
• Case Study section featuring project outcomes and impact metrics
• Industry-specific expertise showcase
• Technology Stack page highlighting modern tools and platforms
• Portfolio gallery for featured work
• Blog & Insights hub for thought leadership content
• Contact and conversion-focused lead generation experience
How I used Google Stitch:
I leveraged Stitch to rapidly generate, refine, and prototype high-fidelity screens while maintaining a consistent design system across the entire experience. The platform made it easy to explore ideas, iterate quickly, and build a cohesive multi-page user journey.
Design Direction:
Dark immersive UI, electric blue accents, glassmorphic elements, modern typography, and premium visual storytelling designed for a 2026-ready digital presence.

Ticketify is a full stack web application for buying, selling, and managing digital tickets for events 🎟️
The main idea behind the project is to offer a simpler, safer, and more intuitive experience for both people who want to buy tickets and organizers who need to manage their events, sales, and ticket validation.
Unlike many ticket-selling platforms that often feel unclear or difficult to use, Ticketify aims to centralize the entire flow into a more organized experience: discovering events, buying tickets, receiving digital entries, and validating them through QR codes.
The application has two main types of users:
🛒 Buyer user
Buyers can explore published events, search by name, category, date, or price, view the details of each event, and purchase tickets through Mercado Pago integration.
Once the purchase is completed, they can access their digital tickets, view the status of each ticket, and check their purchase history with detailed information.
Implemented features for buyers:
• Sign up and log in
• Google login through OAuth 2.0
• Email verification
• Password recovery
• Event exploration and search
• Filters by category, date, price, and name
• Ticket purchase with Mercado Pago
• Digital tickets with QR codes
• Ticket status: valid or used
• Purchase history
• Purchase detail
• PDF receipt download
• User profile management
🎟️ Organizer / seller user
Organizers can create and manage events, define ticket types, manage sales, and validate tickets on the day of the event.
They also have a dashboard where they can view important metrics such as tickets sold, revenue generated, and the status of their events.
Implemented features for organizers:
• Event creation and editing
• Event image/banner upload and update
• Ticket type management
• Event publishing and closing
• Dashboard with key KPIs
• Sold tickets overview
• Total revenue overview
• Management of their own events
• Ticket validation through a QR scanner using the camera
• Manual validation by code
• User profile management
🔐 Security and authentication
Ticketify also includes features focused on account security and protecting the purchase flow:
• JWT authentication
• OAuth 2.0 with Google
• Email account verification
• Password recovery
• Alerts for logins from a different IP address
• Protected routes based on user role
• Differentiation between buyer and organizer
📧 Automated emails
The application sends automated emails at important moments in the user flow:
• Account verification
• Password recovery
• Purchase confirmation
• New login alerts
⚙️ Technologies used
The project was built with the MERN stack:
• MongoDB
• Express.js
• React
• Node.js
It also integrates:
• JWT for authentication
• OAuth 2.0 with Google
• Mercado Pago for payments
• Resend for email delivery
• Cloudinary for image management
• QR scanner for ticket validation
Ticketify was designed as a complete solution for events, where design, security, and user experience work together to make buying, selling, and validating tickets faster, more reliable, and more functional.
