OBJ. — About
Hi, I’m Vibol Sovichea or Sovichea, Full-Stack Developer who loves the challenge of building systems that actually think. Over the last 4 years, I’ve specialized in the Next.js and Nest.js ecosystems, focusing on where secure architecture meets AI. Whether it's crafting RAG-based pipelines or developing high-impact FinTech tools, I’m driven by the goal of making complex tech feel simple and reliable for the people using it.

Terminal / TUI / 2026
etch
etch is a terminal-native note-taking system designed for developers. Inspired by NeoVim and 'Vault' from Obsidian, the app provides a local-first, keyboard-driven interface for managing notes and concepts.
REF-002
ML Pipeline / 2026
Document to Concept-Node Pipeline
A RAG-based pipeline that extracts key concepts from PDFs and maps them into a graph. It uses RAKE for keyword extraction and Gemini for processing, with Sentence Transformer embeddings to link related nodes.
REF-003
FinTech / 2025
JAYLOY
An accounting tool for small businesses that automates receipt parsing and categorization via AI. Built with a zero-knowledge encryption architecture to keep financial data private and secure.
REF-004
Mobile / Android / 2025
Phone1X
An Android application that monitors device health and performance in real-time. It hooks into native Android APIs to gather system telemetry, using an AI layer to analyze behavior, generate diagnostic reports, and alert users to system abnormalities.
REF-005
ML Pipeline / 2025
StudySesh Worker
A Python-based backend worker for a RAG system. It handles the full ingestion cycle: OCR extraction with pytesseract, document chunking, and ANN-based vector search using Chroma DB.
Documented 5 latest real-world builds.

Signal over noise.
Visit archiveBuilding a RAG system taught me that the intelligence of an AI product lives not in the model, but in the pipeline you design around it.
Microcopy, loading states, and error messages are where trust is built or broken.
