Hi, I'm Sonny.

15. From North Wales. I spend most of my time building software, breaking software, and learning how to build better software.

Presenting to Parilon and A&S Group.

01 — Project

Aria

A laptop at night showing ARIA's listening interface.

ARIA started as a small idea, a voice that could listen and answer without feeling like a product. It became the project I keep returning to.

It has been rewritten more times than I can count, and it has never been used by anyone except me, I never trusted the janky code enough to make it public. But it had some incredible capabilities.

I don't pretend ARIA is finished. It probably will never be. But every time I open the repo, I understand a little more about why I started.

02 — Experiments

Small tools,
built in the open.

Building in the open.

This image might look like I'm Tony Stark, but honestly I've never been so lost looking at a screen in my life. Moral of the story, don't try to build crazy complex projects with Claude Code if you can't make your own changes. This was a mess.

  1. 2024Began building Aria.
  2. 2025Started projects I actually understood 
  3. NowStill learning. Still building.

If you're building something I could be a part of, I'm always down. If I ever apply to YC or M-Sparc down the line and you're reading this, I'm a great guy. (pls)
