NaN at the Chiang Rai clocktower at night, its gold lights glowing behind her.

A wichaa practitioner — I make things that work like magic, with digital tools.

HODIE — it gets done today.

Some call me NaN. In town, คุณแนน.

I make little tech gadgets, run a few quiet businesses, write code for hire, and move between worlds — Thai, Indian, American, and the ones you can't put on a map.

I'm hyperfocused and I keep a veil over most of it, not to hide, but because the whole of it is a lot to hand a stranger at once. So: here are the doors. Open the ones that call you.

I keep a shrine to Saint-Expédit — the red one, the roadside kind. You ask, it gets done today, and the debt gets honored. That's how I work too.

— NaN

For the ones who count

Number magic

The Saturn yantra

Σ = 15
492 357 816

Every row, column and diagonal sums to 15 — the Lo Shu square, the seal of Saturn, older than the alphabet.

The taxicab

1729

= 1³ + 12³ = 9³ + 10³

The smallest number that is a sum of two cubes two ways. It rides the centipede above, in binary — the katha you already passed.

The attractor

6174

a fixed point

Take any four digits, not all the same. Sort them high, sort them low, subtract. Repeat. Every road runs to 6174 — Kaprekar's constant.

Constants

φ1.61803398…
π3.14159265…
e2.71828182…

e + 1 = 0

Arithmetic, geometry, analysis — the whole of it in five symbols and one line.

One number, many masks

bin0b11011000001
oct0o3301
hex0x6C1
doz1001₁₂
romMDCCXXIX

Every one of these is 1729. A number wears many masks — so do I. Not a Number.

Work with me

The reciprocal contract

Bring me the thing everyone else called unsolvable. I go deep — long research and a swarm of little crawlers turning over every stone, a hundred legs on one problem — and I start the same day, the way the red saint likes it. You honor the debt when it's done.

Come closer

For friends, not hires

If you found your way here and you're simply curious about the person — the spirits, the making, the wild precious life — that door isn't locked. It opens slower, and only to a knock.

The Ledger

Done today

The saint counts in favors, so this page keeps a ledger — one line a day, the finest thing that got finished in the workshop. The workshop writes it itself, each evening.

  1. Opened what is open right now and every festival date this year and next on มดแดง Mot Dang — the two questions the town asks most, each answered on a single page, and every date says plainly where it came from.
  2. Put the whole city in the box — the Mot Dang toilet map is now an app you can install, with 12,627 roads and 25,060 buildings of Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai drawn by the phone itself, so it opens with no signal and asks no tile server for anything.
  3. Opened รากศัพท์ · Thai Roots — a Hans Wehr-style root dictionary of Thai: 257 Pali, Sanskrit, and native roots holding 974 words, a decomposer that takes any word apart, and Thai standing beside English on every entry, so a word now arrives with its whole family behind it.
  4. Opened ไหว้พระ ๙ วัด · nine-temple merit routes on มดแดง Mot Dang — ten rounds of nine wat apiece, drawn across ninety temples of the old city, so a day of merit-making arrives already in order.
  5. Gave 1,343 places on มดแดง Mot Dang a share card of their own — a shop dropped into a LINE group now previews as its own small poster, Thai name and category glyph and ant rank, instead of one house card standing in for the whole town.
  6. Rebuilt the front door of มดแดง Mot Dang — the province directory on one side, the day's almanac on the other, and Thai and English now stand side by side for anyone who hasn't picked a language.
  7. Opened เทศกาล-ฤดูกาล Festivals & seasons on มดแดง Mot Dang — thirty-three festivals and seasons of Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai drawn as one year wheel, and every mark on it is a door into that day.
  8. Opened Claim your place on มดแดง Mot Dang — any shop, clinic, or wat owner can now confirm their own phone, LINE, and hours for free, and it goes live the moment they press the button.
  9. Opened มดแดง Mot Dang — a table of contents for Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai, 7,044 places shelved by category so the whole town opens like a page.
