Bridging the Gap Between Code and Creativity
Professional Passion
What makes me excited to get up in the morning?
I love having a vision and ambitious goal and striving for it. I really enjoy the process of taking an idea through all stages of design and development. At the end of the day, I want to make cool stuff.
Topics I am interested in
- LLMs and the future of AI
- Coming up with startup ideas, both apps and products
- How tech is going to shape society in the future
My first ever project
I first learnt to code aged 11 in the after school coding club. We used a language called blitz BASIC to make an space arcade game. I was absolutely hooked by how I could create anything I wanted and I would spend hours adding new power ups and levels. After that I learnt C# and created a number of fun games with Unity 3D. I still remember reading 'C# for dummies'.
Beyond Coding
