TheFinder is a lightweight Windows utility built to search files and folders without relying on Windows indexing. It performs direct filesystem scanning, making it useful when Windows Search is slow, incomplete, or indexing is disabled.

You can search specific drives or your entire system, filter results by files, folders, or both, and quickly locate what you need. The application is designed to be fast, simple, and portable with no unnecessary setup or background services.

Features

Fast filesystem search without Windows indexing Search files, folders, or both Scan selected drives or the entire system Lightweight and easy to use No background indexing service Suitable for large storage devices and external drives

Open Source

TheFinder is completely open source. You can view the source code on GitHub.

I created “Sprinkle Me,” an AI-powered Face Generator Lens that transforms the user’s face into a dripping donut-inspired character. This project demonstrates how Snapchat Easy Lens can quickly turn creative ideas into interactive AI face effects. The submission includes the published Lens and a demo of the final experience.

For years I've done the same pointless thing: I pause a film because someone's wearing the exact coat I've been looking for, then I screenshot it, reverse-search it, scroll past forty results that aren't it, and give up.

The thing I wanted was right there in the frame. It just wasn't connected to anything.

So I built it.

Vantara is a streaming service where you pause any moment and it tells you what's in the shot and where to buy it: the exact piece, or its closest match. Because you're never going to find the real 1912 opera coat from the costume department, and you don't want to pay for it either. You want the look, at a price that makes sense.

It's 11 screens across desktop and mobile, including the player, the pause-to-shop panel, item pages with real prices and delivery, a Vault that watches prices and tells you when something drops, and a search that runs backwards. Describe a look, and it finds you the scene it lives in.

I built every screen in Flowstep, driven through the Flowstep MCP server with Claude, on one design system applied across the whole thing.

This is the idea I keep coming back to. Full walkthrough video + case study here: Full Walkthrough
