AI Engineering Focus

Pursuing the
frontier of AI

AI is where I'm putting most of my energy right now. I'm learning by building real things, from chatbots to slide generators to virtual waitlists. The goal is to get good enough to take on AI engineering full time.

About Me

Developer.
Curious Mind.
AI Enthusiast.

I'm Joe Daoud, a developer from Placentia, CA. I got into coding when I was 12 years old and it just kind of stuck. I spent years doing web development work, building sites and apps for clients and learning the full stack along the way.

Now I'm focused on AI engineering. I'm genuinely excited about where this technology is going and I want to be someone who builds with it, not just reads about it. I'm looking for opportunities where I can do that full time.
