About Me

My journey into technology began with a simple desire: to steal back precious moments with my two young daughters. As an over-the-road truck driver, every second at home was invaluable. What started as a practical solution – automating our home to maximize family time – blossomed into a passion that has redefined my career aspirations.

Watching my 5-year-old's eyes light up with each new smart home feature ignited a spark in me. It wasn't just about convenience anymore; it was about creating a world of wonder and possibilities for my children. This drive to innovate for my family naturally extended to a broader vision: leveraging technology, particularly AI, to build a better future for the next generation.

My background may not be conventional for a tech enthusiast, but it's precisely this diverse experience that fuels my unique perspective. From mastering the intricacies of logistics to diving headfirst into home automation and web development, I've discovered an insatiable appetite for learning and problem-solving. Each challenge overcome, from setting up a home server to creating web applications, has reinforced my belief that with determination and curiosity, any obstacle can be surmounted.

Now, as I set my sights on AI development, I'm driven by a vision of technology that makes life not just easier, but richer and more fulfilling. I'm excited about the potential of AI to address real-world problems, particularly in robotics and healthcare, aiming to create a world where innovation leads to less suffering and more joy.

My journey is a testament to the power of lifelong learning and the transformative potential of technology. I bring to the table not just technical skills, but a profound understanding of how technology can impact lives, a relentless drive to learn and improve, and an unwavering commitment to turning challenges into opportunities for growth.
