Hobbyist coder, AI explorer, and mental health advocate - where passion meets persistence in the darkest places
Hi, I'm Nugget, a passionate hobbyist fueled by code, creativity, curiosity, and coffee (of course ☕). I'm not a professional, and I don't hold any formal certifications, but that's never been the point. My journey isn't defined by titles or degrees, but by resilience and the will to keep going.
I've faced my own demons, and truthfully, I still do. Quietly, every day. But through that struggle, I've found a lifeline in code and creation. With AI as my tool and persistence as my guide, I build not just projects, but peace.
Mental health is something I care about deeply. If I can help even one person feel less alone, more understood, or just a little bit stronger, then I've done something that truly matters.
If you're in a dark place right now, know this: mental health isn't a weakness. It's a hidden strength. Surviving, pushing forward, and creating through the pain makes you powerful. You don't need to act tough. You're already tougher than steel, whether the world sees it or not.
You are the alpha. Not because you never struggle, but because you keep showing up anyway.
Creating tools and sharing experiences to help others see that mental health struggles are a superpower, not a weakness.
Passionate exploration of AI possibilities using local models - learning, experimenting, and creating through persistence.
Building web applications as a coping mechanism - where code becomes creation and creation becomes healing.
Creating automated Discord companions and utility bots to enhance community experiences and bring joy to server interactions.
Crafting Python scripts and applications for automation, data processing, and creative problem-solving adventures.
