From running my own business to engineering software—building integrations by day, AI products by night.

After running my own business for 10 years, I transitioned to software engineering. Now I work at ConnexAI building integrations for enterprise platforms, and spend my free time exploring AI through side projects. I've deployed two SaaS applications using OpenAI and Google Gemini—both live in production. I work primarily with React, TypeScript, and Node.js, but I'm more interested in solving problems than any specific tech stack.
