Budding passion for machining learning and generative AI 

Biography

I am Michael, a seasoned web developer and software engineer with over 5 years of experience. Currently, I am highly focused on AWS, actively advancing my expertise in solution architecture, security, machine learning, and generative AI. My long-term objective is to apply these skills in a transition to a cybersecurity role.

In my free time, I enjoy taking pleasant walks in the park, working out at the gym, exploring culinary arts, boxing, and gaming. Traveling is a significant passion of mine as well. I have visited France, Norway, the Netherlands, Spain, Italy, South Korea, and Japan.
