Hey, I’m Moses πŸ‘‹

I’m an engineering manager with ADHD, which means when something captures my interest, I don’t just dabble. I become completely obsessed.

A year ago, AI was everywhere and I felt lost. So I did what I always do: dove in headfirst, tested every tool I could find, and figured out what actually helps versus what’s just noise.

This blog exists because when I learn something the hard way, my first instinct is to make sure you don’t have to.
