I built CORTEX, a Cross-Domain Research Agent, on Zo Computer to break scientific silos. It’s a research agent that identifies untapped opportunities by mapping mathematical similarities and formulas between papers in different fields. It ignores jargon and only flags "bridges" that are structurally sound.

I pushed Zo's capabilities to create a functional, automated workspace:

- Intelligence: Integrated GLM5 + Zo Datasets to analyze and compare cross-domain formulas.

- Validation: Used AI Personas & Channels to create a "Council" that vets every connection for scientific integrity.

- Automation: Zo Automations instantly archive discovered research leads to dataset and Google Drive.

- Monetization: Native Stripe integration gates high-level synthesis reports.

I'm proud because this isn't just a portfolio; it’s an active intelligence node.

I built a playable portfolioe on Zo Computer — a personal website that feels more like entering a world than scrolling a page.

Instead of a standard portfolio, I turned mine into a retro, game-first experience with multiple ways to explore who I am and how I build: a landing intro, a navigable menu, a resume view, a desktop OS mode, a video game mode for discovering projects, a Build Mode tied to my workflow and music, and a Coffee Chat flow that makes outreach feel intentional instead of form-based.

The idea was simple: a portfolio should not just show my work, it should show how I think 🧠 systems-minded, interactive🚀 , a little playful, and built with real product feel. Zo was the right platform for that because it let me host a live, multi-mode personal website that blends interface design, interactivity, and integrations into one experience.

Every designer has a moodboard. It lives somewhere else — another tab, another app. Never visible while you work.

So I built Peripheral: a curator that sits next to your Paper canvas. Reads what you're making. Surfaces references. Captions each one in 3 words.

@paper + Claude Code, via MCP.

64% of my Claude Design limit. Gone. Before I designed a single screen. 😅 I never start a project without a design system in place - so naturally, the first thing I did was import the full shadcn/ui system straight from the official GitHub repo. Needed some tweaks, but at least I didn't build it from scratch. Still somehow burned through half my limit doing it. 🙃 Can't imagine using it on an actual project with this kind of consumption, but interesting nonetheless.
