## About

𝙷𝚎𝚕𝚕𝚘, 𝚆𝚘𝚛𝚕𝚍! 👋  I’ve been fascinated by 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲 ever since I was a kid—always the one who needed to understand the 𝘸𝘩𝘺 and the 𝘩𝘰𝘸 behind things.

Today, I channel that curiosity into 𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞, 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞, and 𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲. I treat my journey like an open map: I love taking side-quests into different fields because I believe every experience adds a unique piece to the puzzle of my life.

My goal is to bring all these perspectives together to design intelligent systems that support people's daily lives, making technology not only smart, but also sustainable and human-centered.
