“I don’t just want to make better software — I want to make work better.”
“The future isn’t a choice between utopia and dystopia — it’s something we’re actively building. AI and automation will transform everything, but it’s our humanity that will define what comes next. I don’t fear obsolescence. I believe in a future where technology amplifies empathy, enhances how we live, and deepens what it means to be human.”
