02About me
I started in computer science, writing code that worked — but felt incomplete. When I saw how fast AI was advancing, I realized the bottleneck wasn't capability anymore. It was the space between humans and machines.
So I crossed over to design. Not to escape technology, but to shape how people and AI learn to work together. There's no established playbook yet — and that's exactly why it interests me.
