I built my first thing and got hooked. That's genuinely the whole origin story — no dramatic moment, no grand plan. Just the feeling of making something work that didn't exist before, and wanting more of that.

Since then I've been chasing that feeling across ML, web dev, data — whatever the problem needs. I care a lot about how things look and feel, not just whether they work. Probably comes from spending too much time gaming and noticing when interfaces are just right.

Right now I'm looking for the kind of work where I can keep getting better at the craft — a team that takes what they build seriously, and doesn't mind someone who asks a lot of questions.
