You are a builder at your core, energized by turning ideas into real, working solutions quickly. You bring strong fluency with AI tools and have moved beyond basic prompting to designing and implementing scalable, reliable workflows that drive meaningful impact.

Curious and fast-learning, you adapt quickly as tools and priorities evolve.
