My Story
My curiosity and passion for innovation led me to pursue a degree in electrical and electronics engineering, where I honed my skills in programming. Along the way, I became a founding member of various clubs and organizations, which helped me develop teamwork abilities
After graduating in 2021, I eagerly explored the potential of emerging technologies
I took several design courses to learn how to create intuitive and engaging experiences.
So I began hands-on experiments:
-
Sora Alpha Artist Group: I was part of a select group of creators worldwide, one of 60 artists who knew about the launch in advance—it felt cool!
-
DALL E experimental model: As an alpha tester, I was in a group of about 100 individuals globally to try out this AI model.
-
HUG x stability.ai INNOVATION LABORATORY: It sparked a realization: my art isn’t just about creation; it’s about sharing my story and empowering others.
-
TikTok Effect House Accelerator Program: 6-week journey, packed with AR workshops, TikTok content creation strategies, and it was organized for the first time.
-
Meta Spark Studio Creator Camp: Participant in Summer 22' which is the first one.
-
Lenslist: Four of my projects were featured in their weekly selections (#110,#112,#124,#140), showcasing the innovative use of this platform.
-
LTX Studio, DALL E 2, Adobe Firefly, Luma AI, Runway Gen-1, and Gen-2: I've enjoyed the chance to experiment with these platforms in their early stages.
-
Wonder Dynamics: I was part of the closed beta for this exciting project, one of my experiments.
Worked in Inventive Advertisement
My work at Labs.Monks, was an innovation group on new technologies and upskilling capabilities.

Grateful for working on interesting projects that are true to my vision like Dove Prompt Playbook!
