I started out building full-stack apps — the whole stack, databases to UI. At some point I discovered automation and never really looked back. Now I live in that world: scripts, workflows, a homelab that runs too many services, and PowerShell sessions that stretch longer than they should. If something is repetitive and a machine can do it, I want to know why I'm still doing it by hand.
Right now I'm exploring product development and AI-assisted automation — prototyping ideas, learning what sticks, and documenting the whole thing in public. Nothing's shipped yet; when it is, it'll show up right here. The goal isn't to look busy. It's to build real things and be honest about how that actually goes.
Outside of screens, I run a homelab that serves mostly as an excuse to learn. I'm always hunting for the next great meal or drink spot, and I recharge with family, friends, and whatever's on the queue — movies, a series, or a controller in hand.
