The Short Version
I never studied computer science. I just started building things and never stopped.
Taught myself to code. Broke things. Fixed them. Shipped them. Did it again. That's still the whole process.
I'm obsessed with space, rockets, and the idea that one person with a laptop and a real problem can build something that matters. That obsession is what got me into tech and it's what keeps me moving.
Right now I'm building AI products that solve problems I've personally felt — bad hiring tools, broken memory in AI systems, tourism that's impossible to navigate. If I've been frustrated by it, I've probably tried to fix it.

The name comes from the Raptor engine on SpaceX's Starship. That felt right.
