 ## 🚀 About Me
 
-I’ve been building software for nearly a decade, crafting solutions from fintech platforms to game jams. Whether I’m architecting scalable APIs, fine-tuning performance, or adding a quirky twist to a side project, I aim for systems that just work and feel great to use.
+I’ve been building software for nearly a decade, crafting solutions from fintech platforms to game jams. I enjoy architecting scalable APIs and fine-tuning performance, but I’m particularly excited about exploring how AI, and specifically Large Language Models (LLMs), can revolutionize software development and user experiences. I aim for systems that not only work well but are adaptable and intelligent.
 
-When I’m not coding, you might catch me exploring new tech stacks, tinkering with creative code experiments, or tackling a puzzle challenge just for fun.
