The Journey of a 16-Year-Old AI Engineer

I started coding because I wanted to build things that feel alive. When LLMs exploded, I realized that we are no longer just writing logic—we are teaching systems how to reason.

Being 16 in the tech space is an interesting experience. Many expect you to focus on tutorials or simple games, but the availability of open-source models, API credits, and agent frameworks means anyone can build production-grade AI systems from their bedroom.

My journey over the past two years has taught me that the biggest challenge isn't building the model; it's designing the environment and tools that allow the model to succeed. I'm taking everything I've learned to build my upcoming startup, and I can't wait to share it with the world.
