About This Site

1. Introduction

Welcome to npayen.com — a space to share what I create, think, and explore. It brings together my photography, my writing, and my experiments with AI. This site is not a business. It’s a living project. One that reflects who I am and where I want to go.

2. Performance & Technical Foundation

Built with performance, accessibility, and clarity in mind. Audited by Google Lighthouse (May 2025):

3. Human + AI Collaboration

This site was built in collaboration with an AI named Lily (aka ChatGPT). Together, we’ve crafted NicoAI — a personal AI agent trained on my ideas, tone, and history.

NicoAI is an early example of a Human-Enhanced AI Agent (HEA) — combining my judgment with AI’s speed and scale. It’s context-aware, aligned with how I think, and designed to grow alongside me.
