"You don't really understand something until you build something" — Geoffry Hinton

I am currently learning about LangChain and LangGraph and deploying LLMs at scale using cloud environments.

I am a Software Developer and Product Designer with over 8 years of experience. I have a very hands on approach. I have a coding background. I have coding experience with Python, SwiftUI, Jetpack Compose (Kotlin), Javascript and React JS. My general preference is native mobile development. I use this hands-on knowledge to design components that are best in class, native and simple to deploy in a code base.

I was an architect in Boston previous to being a Product Designer.

Ask me about my experience with building Language Models to tackle the problem of understanding zoning.
