Meet the Squad Behind Michiko

Your ultimate productivity crew, blending efficiency with a touch of magic!

About Empty Coffee Cups

Welcome to Michiko, where two sleep-deprived 12th graders (a.k.a. Empty Coffee Cups) are making big dreams happen with even bigger caffeine addictions! ☕🚀

We’re just a couple of students balancing school, life, and our passion for creating a space where productivity meets fun. Our mission? To make studying, organizing, and community-building something you actually look forward to — because why not mix dragons with deadlines? 🐉✅

With Michiko, we aim to help you stay on top of your goals while sprinkling in a little magic and humor. (Let’s be honest — we could all use a laugh while tackling that to-do list, right?)

Running this project has been a wild ride, fueled by late-night brainstorming sessions, way too much coffee, and an endless drive to create something meaningful for all of you.

So, whether you’re here to slay dragons, stay organized, or just vibe with us, we’re so glad to have you. Thanks for being part of this journey — you’re the reason our coffee cups aren’t just empty, but overflowing with motivation! ☕💖

Meet the Team

Our Developer - Dev

Hey there! I’m Dev, the one who codes Michiko and makes sure it doesn’t crash every five minutes (you’re welcome). I handle most of the backend stuff, which is a fancy way of saying I spend my days arguing with code while my teammate debates which shade of purple “feels friendly.” Spoiler: It’s all just purple to me. 💻⚙

I’m planning to study aviation someday ✈, but for now, I’m grounded and happy, going with the flow and hoping this bot doesn’t develop sentience. I’m not great at the whole “aesthetic” thing — I once tried to pick a font and got banned from design decisions forever. (Apparently, Comic Sans wasn’t a “fun” choice.)

I like to think I’m just a little dumb, but let’s be real — Michiko wouldn’t work without me. I’m the one who keeps things running while cracking jokes, fixing bugs, and generally having a good time. 😄

So yeah, I’m the coder, the chaos wrangler, and the guy who keeps everything from falling apart. Hope you’re loving Michiko as much as I love making it work! 🐉

Our Designer - Ary

Hi, I’m Ary — the designer behind Michiko! I’m the one obsessing over color palettes, tweaking the UI, and making sure everything looks pretty (even if my desk doesn’t). 🎨✨

When I’m not working on Michiko, I’m either drowning in my medical studies, getting lost in a book, or binging cheesy rom-coms that I’ll never admit made me cry. (Spoiler: They always do.) 📚💕

Ironically, I’m clumsy, perpetually disorganized, and somehow the one who insisted we make this productivity bot. My friends and I needed a way to stay organized during group studies, and now here we are — running a whole bot while I still trip over my own feet. 🤷‍♀️💻

If something on Michiko looks amazing, it’s probably thanks to my hours of overthinking. If something breaks… well, let’s just say I probably spilled coffee on it. ☕💖

Thanks for joining us on this wild journey — I’m so glad you’re here! (And don’t worry, I’ve double-checked the color palette. Probably.) 🐉
