Why
Building Trust & Transparency In Tech
Understanding = Power
Ignorance makes me feel powerless
Building Education Recourses
I was taught I had the power to make anyone believe anything. I choose to make people believe in themselves.

ADOBE style product suite with a focus on education and accessibility
Funds ALWAYS set aside for low-income folks who want to learn
Low Code MUST = Learning Code
Cover Annual Subscription costs for industry dev-tools, software, and learning
- Can work with companies that share values to support
AI you can trust
Tools to identify AI that you can’t
Artificial Intelligence can never replace Actual Intelligence
AI prompting can almost be considered it’s own language
Current state of large LLMs = Big promises with high $ - Low/no code users see a bright future where they can break into an industry, only to realize that AI prompting is a coding language in it’s own right. - Users don’t realize that a lot of what they don’t see behind the scenes is (usually) python script written in syntax not far off from the undefined language that is AI/L. The hours spent scraping through forums for prompting techniques, tips etc. could easily translate into simple Python scripts achieving their desired result in half the time, every time, for free (often the script for the task your looking for has already been written)
- AI is an amazing tool. It will never replace Actual intelligence
