About

I am a professional generalist within the field of computer science. I can program in nearly every programming language, and I have worked with both making and using AI, as well as using AI to assist in making other projects. I also am rather good at voice acting, and have dubbed videos for AI reference before. I’ve also made games, websites, and other computer programs, such as a desktop application that translates Tagalog audio to English text and vice versa with Python and Whisper. Side note: I’m pretty good at writing.
