Collin Howard

I got into software because I like to build, and 10 years in, that hasn't changed. Most of what I do, I taught myself on nights and weekends, chasing whatever I'd just bumped into and didn't understand yet. I move fast, learn faster, and would usually rather wade into the messy parts of a problem than wait for someone else to figure them out. These days, AI tooling is part of how I work every day.
