Some Background Info

Hello fellow reader! I am a software engineer that loves to tinker and build. I’ve had the pleasure of placing top 5 in a hackathon and being flown out to present our creation! I also get to work extensively business users, figuring out repetitive tasks that can be automated, and play around with AI for novel use cases not necessarily used in other aspects of the industry. A project I built from the ground up has an estimated savings of $900,000 yearly! I’m always trying to figure out the “why’s” and the “how’s” to bring my ideas to fruition.
