✎ WRITING
Abandoned and Left Behind
A 165-page self-published action-adventure novel set in 1969 — two men racing the FBI to find their way home. 4.0★ on Amazon.
“His love for writing came from his tutoring teacher, Mrs. Murphy. With the teacher’s help, he has improved in his writing and editing. His interest is to connect with new audiences and write more and more novels on different genres.”
Buy on Amazon
Hell on Planet B
Coming SoonA completed science-fiction war novel exploring the devastating consequences of conflict on another planet, following a man caught between the horrors of war and a deeply troubled family relationship. Coming soon on Amazon.
“After completing his first novel, he continued writing independently, challenging himself to explore a new genre and a darker story. Hell on Planet B reflects his growing interest in exploring complex themes of war, family, survival, and human nature while connecting with new audiences through fiction.”

◎ INTERESTED_IN
Artificial Intelligence — I Want to Understand It, Not Just Use It
“I don't just want to become someone who knows how to use AI. I want to understand how it evolved, how the models actually work, how they learn from data, why they sometimes fail, and eventually how we can use them responsibly to make people's lives better.”
Research — I Like Questions That Don't Already Have Answers
“I like taking something I don't understand and slowly figuring out how I could find an answer.”
History — I Want to Understand Why Things Happened
“History helps me understand how people made decisions in the past, and that makes me think harder about the decisions we're making about our future.”
Writing & Storytelling — I Like Creating Worlds That Don't Exist
“AI lets me explore what machines can learn. Writing lets me explore what people feel, fear, believe, and become.”
People, Leadership & Community — I Want to Understand the Human Side
“The more I learn about technology, the more I realize that understanding people may be just as important as understanding machines.”
✺ WHAT_IVE_LEARNED_SO_FAR_ABOUT_LIFE
I Learned That I Don't Always Have to Have the Answer
“Being a leader isn't about being the smartest or loudest person in the room. Sometimes it's about knowing when to stop talking and actually listen.”
I Learned That Doing Something “Cool” Isn't Enough for Me
“The coolest technology isn't always the technology with the fanciest code. Sometimes it's the thing that makes one person's life a little easier.”
I Learned That People Aren't Data Points
“Data can help me understand the world, but I never want to forget that there are actual people behind the numbers.”
I Learned That Being Bad at Something at First Is Normal
“My first attempt doesn't need to be amazing. It just needs to exist so I have something to improve.”
I Learned That a Résumé Doesn't Show Everything That Matters
“I want to accomplish big things, but I don't want my life to become just a list of accomplishments. I want the things I do to actually mean something to me — and hopefully to somebody else too.”
