Hey. I'm Noah.
I'm 17, I live in Germany, and I spend about 14 hours a day building things I can't stop thinking about.
It kind of started with my dog. During Covid I was 12 and started making TikTok videos with Pepels. People liked them, I liked making them. Then I stopped for a while — long story. But at some point I realized I just didn't care anymore what anyone thinks. So I started again.
This time it was self-improvement. Sports, routines, becoming a better version of myself every day. That turned into content, which turned into @noahsioo, which turned into 600k people who apparently want to hear a teenager talk about discipline and showing up every day.
Somewhere along the way I got obsessed with building products. I had zero coding experience. Literally none. But I had ideas — and then AI tools like Claude Code came along and suddenly I could actually build the things I was imagining. That changed everything for me. My first real project, Sioly Routines (not launched yet), I've been building for over a year. It taught me more than I can put into words.
And then came BrainBase.
I was in Denmark on vacation. Switching between projects, writing a video description. And my AI — for the fifth time that week — forgot everything. New session, blank slate. I had to explain the same things again.
My brain does this automatically. I remember things without trying. Why can't AI?
So I started reading neuroscience papers. What I found was kind of insane — 158 documented mechanisms for how the human brain handles memory. Spreading activation. Hebbian learning. Sleep consolidation. Thalamic filtering. Metacognition.
I thought: if I exist, if my brain can do this, then it must be possible to rebuild it.
20 days. 18,600+ lines of TypeScript. 124+ mechanisms. Just me.
This is genuinely one of the biggest things I've ever worked on. Not because of the numbers, but because of what it could become. A brain that actually understands you. That gets smarter over time. That never starts from zero again.
My biggest flex right now? My dad uses Codex in the terminal because I showed him. The man who taught me everything now asks me how to debug his scripts. 😄
I don't have a CS degree. I don't have a team. I don't have funding. But I have a million ideas and I'm not planning to stop executing them. Videos, products, code — whatever it takes. This is version 0.2. And honestly, this is just the beginning.
Oh and if you have 30 seconds — look up @crazydogpepels on TikTok. Please follow, like, and comment on everything. Pepels needs this way more than I do. 🐕
