The 17-year-old has recently launched a website that uses artificial intelligence to make simple sentences longer, more descriptive and with added detail.
Bix's mother said: "He always has a new project going on or some crazy idea."
Like Tony Stark - the superhero alter-ego he imitates in his creations - Bix is always inventing and experimenting with ideas.
The teenager himself commented: "Once I set my mind to an idea I do not stop until I have finished it even if it drives me crazy."
