I BuildWhat I Can Imagine

I work mainly in frontend, close to the product and the systems behind it, turning rough ideas into software that can keep improving after the first release.

First Product

Still running, still evolving

Blog, Let me Express

BLEX

Since 2019

Visit service Open GitHub

BLEX is my longest-running product: a public writing system I built for myself, then kept reshaping as the product outgrew each earlier version.

Long-running product: 2019 -> now
My publishing home: Live service
Public codebase: Open source

Operating System: It became the place behind everything I publish, not a one-off side project.
Product Judgment: I split the interface, rebuilt the editor, and kept removing weight when the system started fighting the writing flow.
Proof of Range: It connects product design, frontend, backend, deployment, and the patience to keep a service alive.

Ocean Series

Self-hosted tools for focused work

Wiki

Ocean Brain

10K+ Docker pulls

A personal wiki for connecting notes, ideas, and AI workflows. Inspired by Notion’s note-taking experience and Zettelkasten notes.

Music

Ocean Wave

A private music player built around my own library. It supports visualizers, equalizers, mix effects, and background playback via its mobile app.

Images

Ocean Palette

An image-generation workspace for organizing prompts and results. It groups keywords like a palette, reads Stable Diffusion metadata, and keeps generated images easy to browse.

Tunnels

Ocean Blue

A tunneling service for sharing local apps through my own server. It creates public subdomains with CLI proxying, tunnel keys, and a session dashboard.
