Building AI-powered Node.js apps, one simple concept at a time.

👋 Senior Software Engineer with 9+ years of expertise in building scalable backends with Node.js, AWS, Microservices, MongoDB, and Angular. I cut through the AI hype and show you how to practically integrate AI into your Node.js applications. But here’s what makes my content different: I specialise in AI storytelling — turning complex concepts like transformers, vector embeddings, and LLMs into relatable stories and analogies (like explaining AI to my mom using her recipe box 👩🍳📦).
