About

I started my career solving business puzzles for big brands, but soon found myself drawn to the world of software engineering and AI. I pursued degrees in computer engineering and economics. Now, I'm focused on building cool tech products, from AI-powered tools to full-stack apps, all while trying to catch a glimpse of the tech future ahead.
