Links & Resume

I’m making a mid-life shift back into tech and AI after a winding path. I started coding on a Commodore 64, then designed CD-ROMs and touchscreens with Macromedia Director in the ‘90s. After years in other fields, I’m now learning Python, AI, and automation to build practical tools like document processors and chatbots—always focused on honest progress and real-world impact.
