Flagship

ValiqAI

The trust layer for AI-built software.

valiqai.com — live demo

AI coding tools generate software fast, but a lot of that code only looks finished. ValiqAI autonomously explores a product from a single URL, catches broken logic, silent failures, and accessibility issues — no test scripts required. Built for people shipping fast with AI who need validation without the setup.

I fell in love with AI two years ago.

I've been coding for years, but when AI for coding and CS rose two years ago, that's when everything clicked. Now I'm deep into ML, deep learning, LLMs, and building full-stack SaaS products.

There are so many places where AI can be added or enhanced, and people can genuinely benefit from it. Despite my age, I'm going to make that my life's mission. I'm 16, still in high school at Marvin Ridge (Class of 2028), and I'm not waiting around to start — this summer alone I flew out to San Francisco and won three first-place awards across five hackathons.
