01 / ABOUT

WHO I AM

Technology is my tool. Culture is part of my story.

My background is in software engineering and web development. Alongside technology, I have built hands-on experience in digital creation, entrepreneurship, project leadership and visual storytelling.

I am interested in the space where technology meets people: creating useful digital products, experimenting with AI, and finding new ways to make stories and knowledge accessible to younger generations.

04 / AI IN MY CREATIVE WORKFLOW

Use AI to extend the creative process.

I use AI as a creative assistant: to explore ideas, structure stories, develop visual concepts and support editing workflows. My goal is not to automate culture, but to create more ways for people to access it.
