My AI Approach
I believe in using AI as a tool to enhance human capabilities, not replace them. My approach focuses on creating thoughtful integrations that solve real problems while maintaining privacy, accessibility, and user control. By combining frontend expertise with AI capabilities, I create interfaces that are not just smart, but also intuitive, transparent, and respectful of user agency.
Prioritizing fairness, transparency, and user privacy in all AI integrations
Balancing AI capabilities with frontend performance for smooth experiences
Ensuring AI features enhance rather than complicate the user experience
