About Me

A builder becoming a stronger software + AI engineer.

Right now, I describe myself as a Backend AI Engineer with exposure across software development, AI, and web technologies. I know enough to build — and I'm working toward becoming stronger.

The story

Learning by building.

I'm building my skills through practical projects, troubleshooting, certifications, and continuous learning. I enjoy turning ideas into working software and learning from the problems that come up along the way.

My focus is moving toward software and AI engineering through hands-on work. The Office Solutions (TOS Platform), Polite Scraper, and Dokile AI reflect the different areas I'm exploring and building in.

What I value

Commitment. Persistence. Goals.

01

Commitment

Keep showing up and keep building.

02

Persistence

Work through problems instead of giving up.

03

Goals

Keep learning toward becoming a stronger engineer.

Other learning

Structured learning + real projects.

I'm also continuing my learning through freeCodeCamp and other technical programs. My approach is to combine structured learning with projects where I have to actually build and troubleshoot.

Approach

Learn → Build → Troubleshoot → Ship

Keep building

I'm building toward what comes next.

I'm always looking for opportunities to build, learn, and solve real problems.
