About Me

I am currently working on MissionZebra, a digital health startup. Additionally, I create websites for clients; view my web design page for more details.

Besides my studies, I work as a chauffeur at GetDriven. I combine this with my passion for technology and software development.

Why APPAI?

I chose Applied Computer Science with a focus on AI because Iā€™m passionate about building real digital solutions that have impact. I enjoy combining logic, creativity, and technology to create applications that solve real-world problems. AI especially interests me because it allows software to become smarter, more efficient, and more useful in everyday life.

Beyond the Screen

Outside of coding, I stay active by working out regularly and Iā€™m always interested in improving myself, both physically and mentally. I also enjoy working on personal projects and entrepreneurial ideas, where I can turn concepts into real products. I like to stay productive and keep learning new things.

Future Ambitions

My goal is to grow into a skilled developer with strong expertise in application development and AI. I want to build my own projects and possibly turn them into successful businesses. In the future, I aim to create innovative solutions that make a real difference and continue developing myself both technically and as an entrepreneur.
