My AI Journey
Artificial Intelligence has become an essential part of my daily life. I don't see AI as a replacement for human creativity but as a trusted collaborator that helps me think faster, work smarter, and transform ideas into reality.
Whether I'm developing software, planning and producing films, creating animations, designing visual effects, or preparing business presentations, AI enables me to work more efficiently while keeping my experience, creativity, and judgment at the centre of every project.
I also enjoy exploring new AI technologies because every tool offers unique strengths and fresh opportunities for innovation.
Research, Writing and Strategy
I use AI to research ideas, write articles and speeches, prepare business proposals, develop training materials, and solve complex problems. For that Kimi K2 , Claude and Perplexity have been really effective.
Conceptualising art
When it comes to envisioning character designs and references, AI can be a handy tool. My work requires me to create scripts, storyboards, and concept art, which is now made more convenient with Higgsfield and Magiclight. Also, for video development, I have experimented with Google Veo to transform ideas into powerful short-form messages.
AI as a voice
AI helps me compose background music, generate voiceovers, create multilingual narration, and design professional presentations.
Adaptability
As the next generation continues to embrace and evolve AI, so does the way I work. By combining these powerful tools with over four decades of experience in software development, filmmaking, animation, and digital media, I can focus less on repetitive tasks and more on the creative aspect, while ensuring that every project I undertake retains the human craftsmanship I have built over the years.
