It began with a fascination for how things come to life. Not in the physical sense of bricks and mortar, but in the invisible architecture of an idea becoming real. Every car I passed, every tool I picked up, every thing that worked a little too well — I couldn't just use it. I had to take it apart in my head. Figure out who thought of it first, how they got from nothing to this, what the earliest version must have looked like.
That curiosity never left. It just found new rooms to wander into.
I've spent the better part of a decade living in the space between a thought and a thing. First small experiments, then bigger ones. Some built for myself, some that ended up in the hands of many more people than I expected. The making is what I love — that specific moment when something that only existed in your head becomes something you can point to.
Currently, I am into something I've believed long before it became a talking point — that AI is for everyone. Not just the technical, not just the privileged. Everyone deserves it. That conviction has followed me since my early days with Alexa at Amazon, and it still hasn't let go.
