Projects

Amidst job hunting in September 2024, facing rejections and battling imposter syndrome, I turned to what I knew best - building things. Instead of letting self-doubt win, I channeled that energy into exploring Generative AI, a field that had always intrigued me. This journey became my way of proving to myself that I could create meaningful things, regardless of the circumstances.

Work Experience

Throughout my career, I've been fortunate to collaborate with exceptional companies and talented professionals on impactful projects. Each role has shaped my growth and contributed to my expertise in software development and product management.
