💼 AI-Driven Simulation Design
Imagine bringing your complex ideas to life with dynamic AI simulations. I can help you develop bespoke virtual environments where digital organisms evolve or intricate systems unfold in real-time. Whether you're in gaming looking for emergent narratives, in education seeking engaging learning tools, or in research needing to model complex phenomena, I'll use my expertise in neural networks and procedural generation to build insightful and interactive simulations tailored to your specific needs.
📊 Data Visualization & Analysis
Making sense of complex data shouldn't feel overwhelming. I help turn raw numbers into beautiful, meaningful visuals that speak clearly to stakeholders and end-users alike. Whether you're building dashboards, presenting research, or exploring trends, I design custom visualizations that are not only accurate — but also intuitive and engaging. Let’s translate your data into clarity, insight, and impact.
👁️ Computer Vision Applications
Need to make sense of the visual world? I build custom computer vision models that can recognize specific objects, classify images, or even read text from images, like my street number recognition systems. Whether you have a unique dataset or a specific visual challenge, I can tailor a solution that extracts the information you need, efficiently and accurately.
🤝 AI & UX Integration Consulting
AI is powerful, but it's most effective when seamlessly integrated with a great user experience. With my dual expertise in AI development and human-centered UX design (certified by MIT, IBM, and Google), I'll help you bridge that gap. I'll consult with you to ensure your AI solutions not only work brilliantly but also enhance usability, delight your users, and meet your business goals.
🌐 Interactive AI-Powered Web Components
Transform your website or application from static to dynamic with AI-powered interactive components. I can create engaging data visualizations that update in real-time, responsive design elements that adapt intelligently, or other custom AI-driven features that make your platform stand out. Let's build web experiences that are not just functional, but truly alive and intelligent.
// Interactive AI Showcase
This space is dedicated to demonstrating AI capabilities in action. Future interactive components, real-time AI demonstrations, or embedded AI-driven tools will be featured here. If you have an AI project you'd like to see integrated, this is the spot!
Example Concept: Imagine a mini-demo here where you could input text and see a small neural network process it in real-time (conceptual).
(This is a placeholder – actual interactive components can be embedded by updating the site's code.)
// Verified Skills
From MIT to IBM, my certifications reflect a dedication to real-world AI, software architecture, and UX systems.
// What This Site Is
This site is an evolving system — part portfolio, part experiment. Soon it will include interactive components powered by AI, design tokens, and semantic structure. You're seeing a snapshot of my personal OS in motion.
