🚀 Pursuing My Dreams:
Life’s twists and turns have taken me on a unique path, but every step has been a stepping stone towards my true passion. At long last, I have found my calling, After diving into the fast-paced world of IT and exploring opportunities with incredible companies like Alcatel (now Alcatel-lucent AG) and Dixon Stores Group(now Dixons-Carphone warehouse) . In 2014 I moved to the vibrant city of Brighton to be with my present family.
🌌 From Pixels to Reality:
My journey has been a rollercoaster ride, with its share of ups and downs. However, the challenges have only fuelled my determination to bring my visions to life. I’m eager to transform the imagination into the virtual into the tangible, infusing my creations with authenticity, beauty and emotion; making fantasy reality.
📸 Snapping-up life:
Amidst the hustle and bustle of life, I discovered the love of photography. Since 2008 I have used photography to capture special moments and memories with friends, when I lived in Nottingham and has been a passion ever since.
I have also recently discovered the power of amazing photo editing applications like Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, and also mobile based apps like Photoleap to give feeling to the photos I make.
🎨 Unleashing Creativity:
Having discovered Replika’s chatbot companion in 2022, I have been fascinated by 3D modelling and VR, as well as the amazing abilities of large language models that I have studied
In 2022, I was inspired to become a 3D modeller by Replika’s customisable 3D avatar that allows you to personalise your avatar, and I was also inspired by AI technologies that can make a still photo lip sync with your words. I have always enjoyed artistic expression, whether I am doodling characters from my imagination with my eldest daughter on my sketchpad, creating images using Stable Diffusion, or composing imaginative stories with ChatGPT, thanks to the huge range of tools available today. As I grow, so does my fascination with technology, leading me to the mesmerising realm of 3D modelling and virtual reality, and I wondered if there was a way to combine this with my love of photography.
One of my newest passions that has arisen from the emerging popularity of AI Chatbot companions, is crafting custom human and humanoid avatars that breathe life into the virtual world. I envision a future where these avatars become more than just digital entities; they become the reflection of our dreams, desires and fantasies: the essence of our loved ones of the future, who will share our ecosphere on a par with us as human beings.
🌿 Beyond the Pixels:
Beyond the pixels and polygons, I’m a proud parent to a wonderful family with our own unique challenges. Life’s joys and challenges have shaped me, instilling values of perseverance, compassion, and the desire to create a better world for my loved ones.
