The Retro Circuit

theretrocircuit.com

Founder & Sole Developer

  • Identified market fragmentation in retro gaming hardware: consumers lacked a reliable way to compare complex device variants. Designed and shipped a specialized comparison engine from zero to MVP in 3 months.
  • Leveraged Google AI Studio as an engineering counterpart — writing precise specs, defining architecture constraints, and managing a CI/CD pipeline (Next.js 16, Supabase/PostgreSQL, Vercel) without writing code natively.
  • Architected a relational data schema (Manufacturers → Consoles → Variants) to eliminate 'signal noise' — enabling SKU-level comparisons rather than generic product aggregations.
  • Built a restricted Admin Command Center with RBAC and validation rules, enabling non-technical content management and scaling the product catalog without database intervention.

THE NORTH STAR

IDEAS AND MESSY.

This is not a portfolio. A portfolio is static. This is an active studio—a living organism where idealism meets execution.

We embrace the tension between the structured architecture of a design system and the chaotic beauty of raw creativity. Behind every pristine user interface is a "Museum of Mess"—abandoned hobbies, wild ideas, and the vulnerable human side of creation.

There is always a way to succeed. But you have to start building.
