How I Use AI
As an AI specialist, I don't just build AI products - I actively use AI tools in my daily workflow to accelerate development, experiment with emerging technologies, and stay at the cutting edge of innovation.
AI-Assisted Development
I use GitHub Copilot and Cursor daily for code generation, refactoring, and documentation. This allows me to move faster while maintaining high code quality.
Rapid Prototyping
I leverage V0.dev, Bolt, and other AI prototyping tools to quickly validate ideas and create working demos. This dramatically reduces time-to-feedback for new features.
Multi-LLM Experimentation
I actively experiment with OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, and other LLMs to understand their strengths and choose the right model for each use case.
Workflow Automation
I build custom n8n workflows and AI agents to automate repetitive tasks, from data processing to customer communication, freeing up time for high-value work.
AI Philosophy
I believe AI is a tool for augmentation, not replacement. The best results come from combining AI's speed and pattern recognition with human judgment, creativity, and domain expertise. I use AI to handle the repetitive and mundane, so I can focus on architecture, strategy, and solving complex problems that require deep technical understanding.
