i'm randy — 17, based in Hong Kong. i build things: iOS apps, web tools, whatever the idea calls for. vibe coding is my default mode. high school takes up some of my time. shipping takes up more.
right now
shipping iOS apps, web tools, and whatever else seems worth building. exploring the limits of vibe-coding — figuring out how far one person with the right AI tools can actually go. i also do AI consulting when the project is interesting enough.
into
vibe coding · iOS / SwiftUI · web · AI-native product building · UX & product taste · foundation models · indie hacking
things i actually believe
- —ship first, refine later — a working v1 beats a perfect spec
- —age is not a credential. output is.
- —AI is collapsing the gap between idea and product. use it.
- —good products are discovered, not invented — find the real pain
- —building in public is the fastest way to learn
- —taste is a skill. you can train it.
things i like
good food (Hong Kong cha chaan teng, ramen, anything but spicy), movies, that feeling when a build just clicks together, Claude Code, clean code that reads like prose, finding a great tool nobody else is using yet
things i hate
buzzword-heavy pitch decks, "what does a kid know", 200-slide client proposals, startups with no real problem to solve, judging people by their credentials instead of their work, content that says nothing, and mushrooms — especially mushrooms
