ABOUT ME

At the age of 12, a YouTube video on making tic-tac-toe in Bash got me into programming. Two weeks later I devoured my first book on Python and started coding my first games.

Over the coming years, I've worked on numerous projects. My proudest accomplishment is an automatic checkout chrome extension that peaked at over 1,000 users. It taught me the importance of user-centric development.

Around December '22, GPT changed how I learn, write and code. This enticed me to explore LLM. I experimented with AI video generation, sentiment-based trading, and built a gpt powered tool that generates code for any data extraction task.

Now, I'm looking to join a team to work on bigger projects.
