I Don’t Just Learn AI – I Build Tools That Think
I build working software that solves real problems → right now.
From chatbots to mortgage tools, I’ve developed real Python-based apps using AI, APIs, and automation → not someday, but today.
This site isn’t a résumé. It’s proof.
Why I build
I’m not waiting to be hired to build great things.
I’m doing it now → and sharing the journey as I go.
I’ve created tools that make life easier, smarter, or just more fun.
Not because I was told to, but because I’m driven to solve problems with code and AI.
This portfolio shows how I think, what I build, and why I’m serious about becoming an AI engineer.
Featured Projects
🤖 HomePay AI (In Development)
Problem: Most people have no idea how to optimize their mortgage.
Spreadsheets confuse. Banks overwhelm. Clarity? Rare and expensive.
Solution: An AI-powered clarifier built on top of my mortgage calculator.
HomePay AI reads your loan and budget, then gives plain-English answers to your questions, like:
“Should I switch to fortnightly?”
or
“How much will $100 extra save me?”
It’s like having a mortgage playbook in your pocket.

NLP-powered, fully functional, and trained to make dinner easier.
💡 Advice Fetcher
