Dyslex-Aid

I built this one. An AI reading tool for children with dyslexia, from idea to real classrooms.

This is where I learned what it costs when the right people cannot find something that matters.

Why this one is personal.

I was diagnosed with dyslexia at 21, after being told I was not suited for academia. Dyslex-Aid came out of that: personalized reading support for children who learn the way I do.

Building it taught me the same lesson I now bring to every client. A good product is not enough. The right people have to find it, understand it, and trust it.
