Last month, I said I would build a project every month in 2026. The first project from that initiative is InterviewShark. It is an AI mock interview tool that helps you practice answering interview questions and receive feedback so you can improve your answers. I built it because I often came out of interviews with regret after rambling too much, missing the point of the question, not going into enough details about my experience, and worst of all, getting lost in my own story.
11 Projects in 11 Months
My goal of the year is to build a new project every month. This is something I’ve been wanting to do for many years after watching Pieter Levels’ talk, but I didn’t dare to try it while working full-time. Now that AI has made it much easier to write code, I decided there’s no better time than now to start. I’m going to publish the projects here no matter how good or bad they turn out, so stay tuned!
DJing
Ever since my college roommates took me to my first EDM show in sophomore year, I’ve been a fan of electronic music and have gone to many shows and festivals where I danced my ass off and made great memories with friends. I grew to admire DJs who play just the right song at the right time to keep the energy pumping and take the crowd on a journey.
I made a mobile app. Meet Billy!
Let me introduce you to Billy! Billy is an app that helps you split bills with your friends. Once you upload a photo of your receipt, Billy scans it and gives you a simple UI to assign items to each person. At the end, it provides a clear breakdown for each person that you can easily share with your friends. The app is only available on the App Store for now, but I plan to release it for Android soon.
Book: The Perks of Being a Wallflower
The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky I remember going to the theater with my friends to watch the movie adapation when it first came out in 2012. At the time, I didn’t understand why my friends who read the novel were so excited to watch it, but now I do because I loved reading every part of this book. One morning, while reading the book, I suddenly felt alive as if I hadn’t been born until that moment.
Magnetic Poetry
In our literature classroom in high school, there used to be a wall with magnetic word pieces that you could use to make poems. It was called Magnetic Poetry and I remember we had so much fun writing weird poems. I recently came across this photo and thought it would be fun to have one at home too. I breathe hard when we bathe ferociously at night with your manly father and sister & brother but it is a secret never ask y we did it So I purchased one last week and put it up on the metallic cover of my fan coil unit.
