you’re born to stand out, why fit in

Thomas Conway

12 years old.

I make things at home: an AI, a robot arm, a 3D printing business, a game called funz and my own computer.

Thomas Conway, arms crossed, in front of his name set in giant white letters
Or, as I put it on applications, 12 years of experience.

Work

Cognira

A small language model that learns from the people who use it.

Runs on one iMac. It has a status page, whose main job is checking the iMac is up.

Liability

A robot arm made from an old Ender 3 and some love.

It broke my fingers.

form3d

My 3D printing business. Upload a model, pick a colour, get a price.

Everything is made to order, which is a fancy way of saying it doesn’t exist until you ask for it.

My Computer

A custom PC, funded by many Christmases and birthdays.

The stickers on the case were free. They do not make it faster. I haven’t ruled it out.

funz

A website where the most API requests win the page.

People play it. Agents play it harder.

Now

Cognira has applied to Y Combinator’s Winter 2027 batch.

Fingers crossed, where possible.
