Engineer & creative technologist
Varick Lim
Software engineer at an AI agent startup and creator based in Singapore. I build interactive media and creative tools, then share what I learn.
Background
A builder who
also tells the story.
AI video creator & speaker
Films, product demos, brand campaigns, and workshops. I explain the tools through things I have actually built and made.
Former founder
Experience taking ideas into products. I continue to build and launch tools that make creative technology more hands-on.
Technical work
From an API to something you can play with.
Creative tools and interactive experiences built around AI, video, and spatial computing.
StoryWorld ↗
A 3D movie studio in your pocket. Place characters on real surfaces, frame shots by moving your phone, and generate cinematic output from the scene.
Temple Fist ↗
AI-generated footage becomes a game you can actually play. Video clips, player input, and branching action create a martial arts experience without a conventional game engine.
Midnight Hospital ↗
An interactive horror project exploring AI-generated media as a playable experience.
Baby Name Visualizer ↗
A baby name visualizer that turns a chosen name into AI-generated snapshots of future milestones, presented through a nostalgic digital camera interface.
Agent tooling
Martini MCP server ↗
Lets Claude and Codex upload references, run generations, and download assets. Creative workflows become tools an agent can use.
Mobile product
Pegboard ↗
A mobile node editor for AI image and video workflows. Launched and demoed at Demos with Friends.
Creative work
Stories made with the tools I explore.
AI films, short-form storytelling, and campaigns for creative technology brands.

A vertical micro-drama pilot made with Seedance 2.0. My team took first place at the Creators Lab AIGC Hackathon.
Ghost in the Machine
A 90-second AI short film that turns AI sales automation into psychological horror.
This coach is everywhere
An AI coach personified as a superhuman trainer who turns up anywhere. A launch ad mixing absurd situations with Hyrox-style workouts.
