Development & AI

I studied software development and worked as a developer before generative AI became an everyday tool. That background means I do not take its output at face value. I read the code, question the decisions behind it, look for potential issues, and take responsibility for the result.

Used well, AI speeds up execution and makes it much faster to explore unfamiliar territory. It does not replace thinking. It gives me more room to focus on framing the problem, shaping the product, and making decisions. I can test an idea, learn a new technology, or build an early prototype without letting my usual stack define everything I can try.

I enjoy coding, but what I enjoy most is building: taking an idea and carrying it through to a coherent product, from how it works to its interface and the experience it creates. AI gives me more room to work at that level, bringing engineering, design, and user needs together.
