### Pokeworld — Discord's First MMO
**2M+ Users | Built Solo | Prototype in <24 Hours | Featured in The Verge**
Built Discord's first massively multiplayer game alone. Prototype with 151 Pokémon completed in under 24 hours. Scaled to 2 million users across 7 regions using horizontal sharding and stateless services. Discord's own engineers reached out directly to help optimize performance and changed platform settings specifically for this bot. Survived two legal challenges from Pokémon Company lawyers.

## Research Interests
```yaml
embodied_ai:
question: "How small can a model be and still pursue goals across a physical gap?"
experiments: "TinyLlama communicating with Unreal Engine, Raspberry Pi actuating"
discovery: "Latency changes behavior. When inference takes 200ms and the physical
world doesn't wait, the AI starts making different choices."
digital_physical_mapping:
question: "How do we maintain state coherence between digital models and physical reality?"
current_work: "MCP server connected to Arduino controlling lights and power strip"
core_problem: "The AI thinks the lights are off, but I flipped the wall switch.
State drift is harder than the control layer itself."
ai_native_workflows:
question: "Can AI build and run flowcharts, not just exist inside them?"
project: "RUNE Interface"
thesis: "The right primitives can be legible to humans AND AI simultaneously,
enabling real collaboration instead of constant translation."
architectural_ethics:
question: "Can ethical constraints be structural rather than decorative?"
observation: "Most AI ethics lives at the prompt layer—guardrails that can be
jailbroken because they're suggestions wrapped in probability."
interest: "Constraints woven into reasoning architecture, not rules imposed from outside."
