Savannah, GA.
now
currently obsessed with ai and building things with code. i come from a lifelong background in business and marketing, never understood code, but always wanted to learn. so that's what i'm doing: strengthening my understanding of how databases, websites, and all these technical pieces actually fit together, while building real things at the same time.
i've built close to 12 projects so far. a lot of them were ideas i had for years, things i always said i'd hire a developer to build one day. some are passion projects, some are tools i use for work. i'm thoroughly enjoying it.
this month my focus is shipping things that actually work. next month, scaling them.
