I have always had a knack for technology. My father was a computer Science guy, and with him I built my first computer when I was just 6 years old. (see me and my cousins first lan party below.) With this influence, I have always wanted to make advances in the world of technology.

I’ve been in the technology sector for 19 years. I began as a system administrator and IT guy, then transitioned into software development. Subsequently, I moved into project management. Now, I’m back in development, fueled by the recent surge in AI. Currently, I’m an AI Engineer.

My primary project involves designing an AI tool for speech language pathologists. This project stems from my personal experience. My son faced a speech delay in his younger years and struggled to learn to talk. However, when he started school and interacted with peers, his speech improved significantly. This experience ignited my interest in language development.

So right now, I have a working prototype that I have been developing that uses AI to transcribe speech of individuals with very broken English, and other pronunciation errors. My goal is to make an app that will help parents figure out what their kids are saying because the AI tool may be able to decipher what they are trying to communicate.
