My Approach to Artificial Intelligence
We are in an emerging era of Ai assisted coding and Ai generated content. As a veteran developer, I leverage these tools heavily to ship code and experiences at unprecedented speeds.
I believe in using the right tools for the job, whether that's traditional development or Ai-assisted approaches. We can discuss any concerns about Ai-generated content and set appropriate expectations for your project.
Connect with me.
I balance freelance work as a full-time Technical Product Manager, which means I take on select projects that can be managed alongside my day job. This focused approach ensures I can give your project the attention it deserves while maintaining quality and meeting deadlines.
Ideal for small to medium-sized AR/VR projects, but open to discussion on larger projects – let's discuss how I can help bring your immersive vision to life!
