Personal Project / October 2025

My Role

An AI enthusiast, I'm experimenting with OpenAI APIs, Eleven Labs voice cloning, and best practices for designing AI-driven experiences.

Key features

  • Voice-cloned AI that sounds like me

  • Adaptive responses based on visitor context (recruiter vs. hiring manager vs. peer)

  • Dynamic visual content that syncs with conversation

  • Natural explanations of background, skills, and case studies

Important considerations

  • Transparent about AI ("This is an AI-powered experience...")

  • Easy access to real you for deeper conversations

  • Privacy-conscious, accessible, performant

  • Cost management for voice API calls

Content plan

  • Record voice samples (15-30 min)

  • Document speaking patterns and personality

  • Write comprehensive case study content

  • Map visitor types and their needs

  • Create knowledge base with projects, skills, philosophy

Tools I'll use

  • ElevenLabs for voice cloning

  • OpenAI with custom prompts for LLM backend

  • RAG system and vector databsae for accurate project retrieval

  • Split-screen UI: conversation + visual content

Experience design

  • Entry points: "Tell me about yourself," "Show me your work," open questions

  • Visual-voice sync (voice triggers galleries, prototypes, diagrams)

  • Context detection and personalization

  • Graceful fallbacks with option to contact real you
