Wachirawit Chaiyakul
Software Engineering Student
This is my personal website where I showcase my projects and experience.
I’m Ion, a penultimate year Software Engineering student at Victoria University of Wellington. I’m interested in software development, cybersecurity, and AI, and I enjoy building practical projects that solve real problems. I’m currently working as an academic tutor and developing my skills in web development, systems programming, and machine learning.
Currently, I'm focused on building scalable web applications and learning new technologies. I am also doing research about how to train AI with encrpyted data which will provide many benefits including privacy, reliability, and security.
When I'm not coding, you'll find me exploring new technologies, contributing to University Club activities, or improving my problem-solving skills through coding challenges.

A web-based interactive murder mystery system designed for a club event. Players progress through 3 rounds, making choices in each round. After every choice, the server returns a response such as clues, consequences, or story updates, allowing the game to continue dynamically. The website is a core part of the event experience, since the game cannot run properly without it.
