About

I’m Noah, a sophomore at Gettysburg Area High School in Pennsylvania. I build circuits, robots, and software because I like understanding how things work well enough to make them myself.

Lately most of that curiosity points at AI. As models get more capable, I think the hardest problem is making sure they actually do what we intend, and that’s the problem I want to help solve.

ChordCube

An instrument you play by turning it

ChordCube is a music cube for little kids. Each face is numbered like a die, and each one has its own note, its own colored light, and its number in Braille. An accelerometer inside works out which face is up, and that face lights up and plays. Tip it onto an edge and it plays a chord.

One button switches between one note at a time and chords. The other drops every note down a third, so a group of kids can play harmonies together.

Dispute

Dispute: Argument Settler

Dispute is an iOS app that acts as a referee for arguments. It was released on the App Store in September 2026 as Dispute: Argument Settler and is free to download. Two people pass a single phone back and forth while the app guides them through four steps.

  1. Say your side. Each person writes what they think, in their own words.
  2. Tick the list. The app turns both positions into one combined list of plain statements. Whose point is whose stays hidden, so you answer the point instead of the person.
  3. Take the other side. You pick a point you crossed out, make the best case for it, and say what would change your mind about it.
  4. See the crux. Where your ticks match is common ground, usually more than either of you expected. What is left is one question, and the one thing you could go and do to settle it.

Only one person needs the app installed, and it does not require an account, an invitation, or a second device.
