Check Out What I've Been Learning Lately
Fresh blog posts where I break down complex topics into simple, relatable stories. Let's learn something new!
Hey, I'm Allie!
Just another programmer, figuring things out one step at a time.
Hi! I'm a software engineer who's always excited (and sometimes a bit overwhelmed!) by the complexities of computer science. Rather than pretending I've got all the answers, I'm inviting you to join me as I dive into advanced topics, make mistakes, and discover cool things together. Whether you're just starting out or ready to tackle more challenging concepts, there's always room here to grow, ask questions, and have some fun along the way.
Here's What I've Been Building
Explore my latest experiments, projects, and coding adventures—complete with the bumps, bugs, and breakthroughs.
A Hundred Universes
A Hundred Universes is my book blog and a fun little passion project.

That's right! This website is one of my favorite projects.
Starlit Journey
My first product, launching imminently, is Starlit Journey, a web-based SaaS application (Next.js/Supabase) that is a personal self-reflection tool, using a user's own natal chart as a structured lens for reflection, not as a source of prediction or advice. The app tracks planetary transits (astronomical events that unfold over weeks or months) and uses AI (via the Anthropic API) to generate reflective prompts and observations tied to those transits, framed explicitly as "things to consider" rather than instructions, forecasts, or claims about future events. How it's made: Built entirely in-house by me as founder/developer. Astronomical calculations use the Swiss Ephemeris library (open-source, GPL-licensed, used within its license terms); reflective content is generated through the Anthropic Claude API, grounded in each user's own chart data. Who it's for: Adults interested in structured self-reflection and personal journaling, who find an astrological framework a useful and engaging lens for that practice. Pricing model: Subscription — a 21-day free trial followed by a flat $15/month.
