My Story

My Journey with AI

I fell in love with AI during my Master's in Computer Science back in 2017. The field was buzzing with excitement and we knew amazing things were around the corner. I was racing to keep up with all the progress and, unknown to me, things were just getting started... In retrospect, I got lucky and happened to build my foundation in AI just before the sonic boom. Couldn't have timed it better if I tried.

Professional Experience

For the past six years, I've been building AI systems professionally, everything from computer vision to large language models. What really gets me excited is how fast AI moves. Things we thought impossible last year are now doable with a few lines of code and a good prompt. When ChatGPT came out, I had a rare "everything is different now" moment.

The Entrepreneurial Leap

I could see a future where one skilled person, supercharged by AI, could build complex systems in record time. That's what led me to quit my job and go solo. I knew how to code, and while that's great, it's not enough... How do you market a product? How do you handle sales? What makes people actually want to use what you build? I figured the best way to learn was to dive in headfirst.

What I'm Doing Now

So here I am, working solo, building micro-projects and releasing them to the world. I learn something new every day, and it's the best bet I've ever made on myself.
