## About Me

I am a 23-year-old full stack software developer, currently scaling voice AI agents at @oration.ai.
I am a generalist who likes to work with high agency, building a T-shaped stack.
Ready to work on new ideas by getting hands dirty, harnessing AI to build fast, learn quickly and iterate infinitely.

My interests include linux, movies, music, philosophy, psychology, F1 and I am a gamer who only plays story games.

It all started when I broke my father's computer trying to install pirated games which led me to learn about computers and geek out. From fixing issues in Windows 7, fixing my laptop, creating projects in microcontrollers, esp32 to geeking over linux distros, dotfiles and neovim.

I'm an electronics engineer by degree, and a tech nerd in heart.

### Hot Takes I'll Defend
- linux >> macOS, windows (although I daily drive mac these days)
- react native is the way to go for App development in 2026
- open weight models will win the AI race
- authentically humane content will sell more than perfect AI slop.

### Wishlist (Things I want to try out)
- rust - want to learn low level programming, how memory management and cpu works
- javascript in embedded systems - trying to combine the two things I think I understand
