About Me
I build and learn about whatever technology piques my interest, regardless of the effort required. I've built scalable backend systems, machine learning models and infrastructure, dabbled around with LLMs, Agent-building and so on. As long as it involves figuring out new innovative solutions and implementing them, count me in.
When I’m not coding, I’m usually exploring creative mediums, whether that’s producing music, editing video, or capturing life through a lens. I have been learning and honing my video editing skills, although as a hobby for now. Music was one of my first passions, learning and experimenting since I was a wee kid, creating covers and mashups here and there. I’m now diving into producing my own. Some of my newer interests include racing and photography. Now that I have the opportunity, I'm gonna work on mastering these as well.
