How I got here

5th Grade

I started coding by developing simple bookmarklet game cheats for games on my school Chromebook. That first taste of making the machine do what I wanted sparked something — an interest in everything coding and tech related.

That same year, I got my first project tablet and dove into bootloaders — way deeper than a 5th grader had any business going.

Middle School

I realized what my passion was early on. I spent a lot of time playing with online IDEs like repl.it and creating Discord bots for servers I was in. Coding wasn't homework — it was what I chose to do.

High School

All I wanted to do was code — even more than gaming and sleeping, which I really love. I spent many hours over the years getting as good at Python as I could. I kept at it even through the old AI coding era, when AI sucked at coding.

Present

Then coding agents got good. Way too good. I realized AI is not a gimmick — it's a tool. I integrated it into my workflow slowly, and eventually started creating projects with AI entirely. Now I'm an AI Engineering student, building at the frontier of what these systems can do.

What I work with

Languages

Python is my strongest language. Years of grinding through projects, bots, and automation scripts. I reach for Rust when I need speed and correctness, TypeScript for anything on the web, and SQL when the data matters.

AI & Data

I work with LLMs at every level: prompting, fine-tuning, building agent systems. Comfortable with vector databases for semantic search and RAG pipelines. PyTorch when the problem goes beyond API calls.

Systems

PostgreSQL is my go-to database. I live in Linux, containerize with Docker, and keep my git history clean. Built Discord bots that talk to real databases and handle audio streaming.

Frontend

React for components, CSS custom properties for design systems that actually scale. I care about animation that feels intentional and interfaces that don't look AI-generated.
