I didn’t begin
with a roadmap

During my second year at university, I was deciding between embedded systems and software

Andrew Ng’s machine-learning courses made AI feel less like a black box and more like a system I wanted to understand

I learned Python through face authentication, liveness detection, computer vision and audio-based fatigue classification

Understanding models was no longer enough. I wanted to build something people could actually use

PetAI started from my love of animals. The application worked, but it did not give people a strong reason to return

Publishing was only the beginning. I learned to inspect App Store and Firebase data, study behaviour, update products and work on distribution

Corvus taught me that attachment is not the same as a clear reason for a product to exist

There are products I do not need to found—but whose development I want to contribute to

I feel most useful when something I helped create solves a real need, enough that someone chooses to use it, return to it or pay for it
