I’m Simon, a 16‑year‑old developer, runner, and guitarist trying to get 1% better every day.

I write about how I actually learn in the age of AI: using large language models as a coach, not a crutch, and turning every chat into notes, projects, and real skills. You’ll see a lot of practical workflows, prompts, and experiments from my own coding, machine learning, and study sessions here.​

Offline, I’m a competitive runner and tennis player in Toronto, obsessed with tracking data (Garmin, VO2 max, sleep, the whole thing) and testing how habits, training, and systems compound over time. Online, I treat Medium like my lab notebook: I share what I’m trying, what breaks, and what quietly works.

If you’re a student, junior dev, or just someone who wants to learn faster without burning out, you’ll probably feel at home here. Read a story, steal a system, and if something helps, let me know so I can make the next one better.
