About

Hi and welcome to my “run a startup” life journey where no job is permanent, relationships fail, others endure, passions are abundant, hobbies are time-limited, learning is life long, and money is finite. If you’re reading this, you probably found me through one of my articles, linkedin or referrals. I’m writing this wondering if it’s even necessary, when people get their search results from AI and lookup people through social media. Writing is a good talent, not everyone has it but everyone should write.

I didn’t expect AI to advance as it is now. Just a few years ago, I recall seeing the first “Will Smith eats spaghetti” AI video and chuckled thinking it would not progress further. These were just experiments and I didn’t really know what was happening behind the scenes. A decade earlier, AI was overhyped without solid evidence of good utilization. When I talked to people in Silicon Valley about AI usage, it was still just data science and analyzing data which they were mining themselves.

Fast-forward to the present and AI generated content is shockingly realistic. This is the newest revolution since smartphones. Everything is changing and AI is not going away. Machine learning is now democratized and open-source. I must know it, study it, and understand how LLMs work.

As a full-stack engineer, I previously started as a web designer where I deeply loved creating engaging and interactive designs. Then the “flat design” era took over and I learned to code because flat design is simple but not attractive. Windows had their “aero” interfaces for a while which people liked along with glossy design which Apple is brining back in 2025 with their OS but they call it “Liquid glass”. Same thing. Maybe graphic design will go full-circle back to glossiness. Apple always draws criticism but opinions show that the glass-style can be embraced.

My career as an engineer in San Francisco was an amazing experience and the company I worked for was acquired allowing my stocks to grow exponentially. Now with AI, I’m back in the game with more passion than ever. I’m deeply learning what’s necessary to thrive in the current era of uncertainty and technological paradigms.

My Experience

Developed front-end interfaces using JavaScript, applying responsive CSS techniques to ensure consistent layouts and usability across devices and screen sizes. Built interactive user interfaces with ReactJS, focusing on component-based architecture, state management, and efficient rendering for web applications.

Designed and implemented full-stack applications with Next.js and TypeScript on the front end, integrating Node.js services alongside Flask-based Python backends. Handled end-to-end feature development, including routing, server-side rendering where applicable, API communication, and data flow between client and server layers.

Incorporated additional tooling such as TanStack Query for data fetching and caching, tRPC for type-safe API communication, and React Flow for interactive diagram and workflow visualizations. Utilized Web API standards and Voice API integrations to support browser-based interactions and audio-related functionality within applications.

Built and maintained backend systems using Python with Flask and Node.js, applying Prisma ORM for database access and schema management against PostgreSQL databases. Focused on reliable data modeling, query optimization, API endpoint design, and secure handling of application data.

Performed AI integration engineering by incorporating large language models (LLMs) into application workflows. Handled prompt construction, response processing, and orchestration of model calls to support features requiring natural language understanding and generation.

Implemented text-to-speech generation capabilities, integrating services and libraries that convert written content into audio output for accessibility and user interaction features.

Developed speech-to-text generation functionality, enabling conversion of audio input into text for transcription, voice command processing, and related application features.

Applied vision-language models (VLMs) for computer vision detection tasks, integrating models that process visual inputs alongside language understanding to support object detection, scene analysis, and related capabilities within software systems.
