about me

Crafting digital experiences with AI at the core

Hey, I'm Alex — a full‑stack developer with a passion for AI integration. Over the past 6 years I've built platforms for startups and enterprises, always pushing for performance, clarity and a touch of delight.

"

Code is poetry, but well‑designed systems change how people work and live.

I combine solid engineering with product thinking. Outside of coding I contribute to open source and explore generative art.
