My Story

With over two decades of experience in web development and software engineering, I've witnessed the evolution of the internet from static HTML pages to the dynamic, AI-enhanced applications we build today.

My journey began during the early days of the web, when building interactive websites required carefully crafted JavaScript and complex workarounds (or you know, CGI scripts and web counters). Throughout the years, I've embraced every major technological shift - from jQuery to React, from server-side rendering to static site generation, and now, into the exciting world of AI-assisted development.

After learning to code when I was in grade school, I came back to programming from perhaps a different path having gone to art school and then working in the creative industry for a while. I found that I could bring my creative skills to programming and that I could use programming to create beautiful and functional art.

What drives me is the belief that technology should empower creativity, not constrain it. Whether it's writing elegant code, designing intuitive user experiences, or generating artwork using AI tools, I strive to push the boundaries of what's possible at the intersection of art and technology.

What I Do

Software Development

Building scalable web applications with modern frameworks, APIs, and best practices. Specializing in React, TypeScript, and Golang.

Digital Art & Design

Creating AI generated images and training LoRAs for various diffusion models. As a trained Graphic Designer and now an AI digital artist, I enjoy exploring generative art.

Open Source

Growing up on open source software, I've been an active contributor for years. Now, I'm focused on building and supporting the open source AI ecosystem.

Teaching & Mentoring

Sharing knowledge through tutorials, articles, and hands-on training to help the next generation of developers and artists succeed.

Let's Connect

I'm always excited to connect with fellow developers, artists, and AI enthusiasts. Whether you want to collaborate on a project, need advice, or just want to discuss the future of technology.
