Focus areas
Here's what I'm passionate about and actively pursuing:
Technology
I work for an AI company, specializing in implementing AI insight software for companies of all sizes (Fortune 500 companies all the way to smaller businesses). I excel at prompt engineering and AI process improvement, focusing on practical applications that enhance existing workflows.
Strength Training
Competitive powerlifter competing in USAPL and USPA federations as a tested lifter. Current USPA Georgia state squat record holder for the 82.5kg class (241kg) and the 2023 USPA Tested State Champion. I train in my home gym without a coach.
Best competition lifts:
Squat: 260kg / 573.2lbs
Bench: 175kg / 385.8lbs
Deadlift: 255kg / 562.1lbs
Total: 690kg / 1521.2lbs
in the 90kg class with a 450.91 DOTS (USAPL).
Automotive
I enjoy working on and driving cars. I've owned and modified several vehicles including a 2012 GTI, 2017 Golf R, and 2020 Miata Club. Working on each fo these has taught me something new about engineering, problem-solving, and the joy of hands-on work.
Photography
Amateur photographer who primarily uses my iPhone to shoot and edits in Lightroom. I enjoy capturing automotive subjects, landscapes, and life's meaningful moments. I'm still very much learning, but I find photography to be a nice creative outlet.
