Yes, I Actually Enjoy This Stuff

My father sparked my journey into technology by teaching me to type commands into our Commodore 64. Watching something meaningful happen on screen from a simple line of text taught me the relationship between logic and creativity. That idea has stayed with me and it still guides how I work today.

I bring that mindset into my career as a digital craftsman. I care about form and function equally. I love when clean design and elegant code come together to create an intuitive experience. Whether I am building an automated system or hand-coding a pixel-perfect email, I rely on strong design principles so the end result is technically sound, visually coherent, and easy to use.

Generative AI is the most transformative tool in my kit right now. I do not see it as a replacement for skill. I use it as a practical partner to debug faster, explore options, and build better systems with fewer wasted cycles.
