I'm a full-stack AI developer who works mainly in Next.js and Python, building products end to end rather than sticking to one layer of the stack. I started out writing plain MERN apps, and somewhere along the way got pulled into the AI side of things, chatbots, retrieval systems, anything that needed both a solid backend and a bit of machine intelligence behind it. That's where I've stayed since.

What keeps me doing this is less about the code and more about who ends up using it. I like sitting with a rough idea, figuring out what someone actually needs versus what they asked for, and building something that fits into their day without getting in the way.
