Hi, I’m Natani — a 36-year-old AI technology enthusiast, builder, and lifelong learner originally from Northern Michigan and now living in the Pacific Northwest.
I’m transgender, autistic, have ADHD, and live with a disability. I’m also partnered, and the people and relationships in my life matter just as much as the systems I build.
TaskPuppy Kreations is my digital den: a place to share what I’m making, what I’m learning, what breaks, and what I discover while figuring things out.
My brain naturally notices patterns, inconsistencies, and edge cases. That attention to detail helps me test carefully, investigate problems, and keep working through the tiny details that can make a tool genuinely useful.
My lived experience also shapes how I think about technology. Accessibility is not an afterthought to me; it is part of good design.
I build practical tools for real problems. My interests include local AI and large language models, desktop applications, Android development, Python, Linux, homelabs, and privacy-focused technology.
I enjoy vibe coding: using AI as a creative partner while staying curious about the code and systems underneath. For me, AI does not replace learning — it helps me move through the learning process with more momentum.
I care about accessibility, privacy, understandable software, and tools that solve actual human problems. I want the things I build to be useful, approachable, and respectful of the people who rely on them.
Every project teaches me something new. Every bug is another opportunity to understand a system a little better.
I’m on a weight-loss journey, and it has taught me patience, persistence, and the value of paying attention to small changes over time. Progress does not have to happen all at once to be real.
That same mindset follows me into my projects: keep learning, keep adjusting, and keep going.
When I’m not building software, I’m usually spending time with my partner, exploring a new AI model, improving my homelab, or learning something completely new.
One of my long-term goals is to welcome a service dog into my life. I’m working toward that future one step at a time.
Take a look at the projects I’m building and the ideas I’m exploring. There is always another experiment, problem, or new thing to learn around here.
