About Me

I’d say I’m someone who thrives on curiosity and a love for learning, especially in areas like AI, media, content creation, and innovation. I’m deeply involved in both academia and industry, where I use my expertise in emerging technologies to inspire and guide students and professionals alike. I care about responsible, inclusive AI and bring a creative, forward-thinking perspective to developing educational content and curriculum, always evolving my approach to stay relevant and impactful.

I’m drawn to avant-garde culture, quality storytelling, and the discipline of daily habits. My writing routine and digital art creation, in particular, has become a tools for self-discovery, as well as a way to test and expand my ideas through AI. I like to think my conversations reflect a mix of intellectual depth, compassion, and a sophisticated taste for culture and the arts. Ultimately, I see myself as both a grounded academic and a bit of a visionary, always looking for new ways to grow and connect.

For anyone interested in seeing my work, I’m happy to share a link to my projects that showcase this creative exploration of technology.
