My Journey

Once a commercial fisherman, I became tetraplegic after a life-altering injury. But I turned pain into purpose, teaching myself to code with a stylus, building apps, and inspiring others through writing and art.

My Development Projects

I'm an AI Engineer & Full-Stack Developer who builds production-grade software from the ground up. My work spans computer vision, image processing, SaaS architecture, workflow automation, and full-stack web development using React, TypeScript, Django, and modern cloud tooling.

I specialize in taking complex real-world processes and transforming them into clean, reliable, user-friendly software. Because I'm paralyzed, I naturally adopted a highly structured and methodical engineering approach — I plan deeply, break down problems clearly, and design systems that scale.

My recent work includes an AI-powered ID photo capture system with on-device ML and computer vision, a full logistics operations platform for ToteTaxi.com, and a viral AI face-swapping SaaS combining facial recognition with GPU-accelerated image generation.

My Story as a Developer (old video, i have a home now :-)

How I learned to code as a quadriplegic — overcoming odds, building production-grade software, and embracing creative resilience.
