I started my career like most developers — building websites, dashboards, and backend systems. But over time, I realized that shipping features isn’t the same as building impact. I don’t want to write code that just runs, I want to build systems that think, sense, and adapt.

I’m now actively transitioning from traditional web development into AI + IoT + Edge Intelligence, with a focus on building smart, real time systems that interact with the physical world — not just the browser.

My background is in backend engineering (PHP/Laravel + JavaScript), and I’m expanding into intelligent edge computing as part of my upcoming research based thesis. I want to bridge the gap between software logic and real world behavior, where data isn’t stored — it acts.

I am also the co-founder of End Brackets, where we’re exploring how modern web engineering can evolve into intelligent systems engineering. This shift is not just a skill upgrade — it’s a new direction for what I want to build, research, and eventually publish.

This is the beginning of my journey toward becoming an AI driven IoT systems engineer. I’ll be documenting each step here, from learning tools and architecture to prototyping real deployments and preparing for research publication.

If you’re also working on AI, IoT, or edge intelligence — let’s connect. The future is not just cloud-based; it’s intelligent at the edge.
