... increasingly ambitious projects. What began as small experiments turned into a growing ecosystem of tools focused on research, innovation, simulation, AI collaboration, and rapid prototyping. Every version taught me something new. Every failure became the prompt for the next iteration. The biggest surprise wasn't that AI could write code. It was that AI dramatically lowered the distance between an idea and a working prototype. Today I spend as much time architecting systems, testing workflows, and refining user experiences ... ... degree in CSE from 1989 and know enough coding to keep the AI within the guardrails. I also have a sweetheart deal on Gemini Pro, because of our nonprofit, so I use it as an external code reviewer and iteratively
