About Me
I'm a full stack developer with a deep passion for AI and machine learning. Over the past 5+ years, I've built and scaled applications serving tens of thousands of users across web and mobile platforms.
My journey started with frontend development, but I quickly expanded into backend systems, mobile apps, and eventually AI/ML engineering. I love working at the intersection of these technologies, building intelligent systems that solve real-world problems. I'm passionate about building startups and creating solutions that make a real impact.
Currently, I'm focused on AI agents, LLM integration, and building platforms that leverage cutting-edge AI to deliver exceptional user experiences. I'm also the founder of Dissolve Software, where I help businesses bring their ideas to life through custom software solutions.
When I'm not coding, I'm exploring new technologies, contributing to open source, or learning about the latest developments in AI and software engineering.
