About Me

Phong's Profile Picture

My Journey Through the Digital Cosmos

Hi there! I'm a high school senior with an insatiable curiosity for the intersection of creativity and code. While most people see artificial intelligence as complex algorithms, I see it as the ultimate canvas for bringing wild ideas to life.

My journey into AI and machine learning started with a simple question: "What if I could teach a computer to dream?" That question led me down countless rabbit holes of neural networks, creative coding, and late-night experiments that somehow always end up more fascinating than I initially imagined.

When I'm not coding, you can find me wandering through the landscapes of my own imagination—a place where impossible ideas feel perfectly reasonable and every "what if" becomes a new project waiting to be born. It's in these mental adventures that I discover the creative sparks that fuel my technical work.

I believe the future of AI isn't just about making machines smarter—it's about making them more imaginative, more intuitive, and more human in the problems they help us solve. Through this portfolio, I want to show you not just what I've built, but how I think, create, and turn abstract concepts into tangible projects.

Let's embark on this journey together and see where our imaginations can take us!
