About

About me

I'm a developer and technology enthusiast who enjoys figuring out how things work, building software from the ground up, and exploring what's possible with modern technology. My interests span desktop applications, artificial intelligence, web development, music software, and operating systems.

I enjoy taking an idea, breaking it into manageable problems, and working toward a real solution. I'm especially interested in using AI as a development tool to learn faster, explore new technologies, and build projects that would otherwise be difficult to tackle alone.

I'm always learning, experimenting, and looking for the next challenge.

Principles

How I build

A few things I try to hold onto, especially when a project gets difficult.

  1. Solve a real problem

    Build things that solve real problems — not demos that only exist to look impressive.

  2. Learn by making

    Learn by experimenting and creating. Reading about a technology starts the process; building with it is what makes it stick.

  3. AI as a tool, not a crutch

    Use AI as a tool to improve development, not as a substitute for understanding. It helps me learn faster — the comprehension still has to be mine.

  4. Function, performance, experience

    Focus on functionality, performance, and user experience. Something that works but feels bad to use isn't finished.

  5. Keep going

    Keep improving, even when a project gets difficult. The interesting problems are rarely the easy ones.
