## 🚀 About Me
|
||
|
||
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 experimenting with AI tools, tackling algorithmic challenges, or exploring new tech stacks.
