I go by many names, but on here you should refer to me as Nova (to be fair, anything that doesn't cause confusion is good enough). I build things, mostly alone, though I wouldn't say I own them in any meaningful sense—they're more like experiments in seeing what can be made to work, or fail interestingly. Visual novels, RPG engines, web scaffolds, small machine learning projects that probably don't impress anyone, including me. Most remain unfinished, which is fine, albeit slightly embarrassing when people ask what I'm working on.

I play electric guitar. I sketch things too, lines that resist becoming anything recognizable, though I keep doing it anyway because creation doesn't need to justify itself to anyone, least of all me.

People fascinate me in ways that are hard to articulate—how they organize themselves, why they revolt, how belief systems take root like some unconscious algorithm running in the background. I try to map these patterns through fragments: notes scattered across devices, sketches that make sense only to me, code that captures some small piece of the puzzle before I inevitably abandon it for something else.
