About

A laboratory for
learning by building.

Henry's Personal Lab is a personal technical environment for exploring AI, software, creative technology, and self-hosted infrastructure.

The Idea

Not just a portfolio.

This website is designed as an ongoing laboratory rather than a finished portfolio. Projects, research notes, experiments, infrastructure, and technical failures are all part of the same process.

The goal is to build things, understand how they work, document the process, and gradually turn experiments into useful systems.

Focus

Areas of
exploration.

01

Artificial Intelligence

Exploring large language models, generative AI, agents, local inference, and intelligent systems.

02

Software Engineering

Building practical systems across web applications, developer tools, automation, and infrastructure.

03

Animation & Creative Technology

Combining animation, visual expression, procedural systems, and emerging technologies.

Background

From animation
to AI.

My background began in animation and creative work before moving deeper into programming and artificial intelligence.

That transition continues to shape the way I approach technology: combining technical systems with visual thinking, experimentation, and creative problem solving.

Principles

How the lab
works.

01

Build

Turn ideas into working systems instead of keeping them at the level of theory.

02

Experiment

Use small experiments to understand technologies through direct implementation.

03

Document

Record what works, what fails, and what is learned along the way.

04

Improve

Continuously refine both the systems being built and the way they are understood.

Personal Lab

Still building.
Still learning.

The laboratory is intentionally unfinished. New projects, experiments, research, and infrastructure will continue to be added as the system evolves.
