At the Intersection of Design, Development, and AI
With 25 years of experience spanning graphic design, UX/UI design, and full-stack development, I’ve grown alongside the evolution of technology. Today, I’m focused on not only creating engaging digital experiences but also on integrating intelligent, AI-powered solutions into practical workflows.
My background covers every layer of the digital stack—from front-end development to back-end system architecture. In this new era, I’m dedicated to adopting and advancing emerging AI technologies to create efficient, user-friendly experiences and robust automation systems. Whether it’s crafting intuitive interfaces or developing dynamic autonomous agents, my work centers on ensuring that every interaction feels both natural and innovative.
As an AI researcher and developer, my approach is rooted in solid design principles, balanced by a deep understanding of modern AI methodologies. By merging traditional design expertise with new-age automation and AI research, I strive to deliver solutions that are both visually appealing and seamlessly integrated for real-world applications.
