I'm an Industrial Engineering student who got obsessed with program synthesis. Started building a freestanding microkernel in C++ to run genetic algorithms that would generate programs from prompts.

Halfway through I realized: "Wait, I'm just building a compiler with extra steps."

So I pivoted. 4 days later, Yori was born.

It's a meta-compiler that takes natural language/pseudocode and turns it into self-correcting binaries in 21 different languages.

Not trying to replace programmers—trying to create more of them by removing syntax as an entry barrier.

Built it during unemployment/vacation. Now wondering if this could be something bigger.
