About
As a passionate tech-geek, I've had the luck of working at a set of companies where I was able to follow my interests and level-up my skillsets in a number of different technology stacks. Where I differ from the average engineer is my ability to translate complex concepts into lay-men terms, so that nobody is excluded from the conversation. This allowed my to make more impact on the business during the execution of my projects.
Today it is my dream to make the wonders of AI accessible for anyone, enriching the human capabilities on the work floor.
