Beyond the roadmap

A growing collection of things I've explored, designed, built, and occasionally broken outside of work.

Below you'll find personal projects, AI experiments, creative prototypes, and the occasional oddity—built out of curiosity, necessity, or both.

Turbio-Zine

Check it out

Turbio Zine is an AI-assisted cultural discovery platform focused on alternative and underground events. The concept combines automated event gathering with human curation to surface concerts, club nights, and DIY cultural experiences that are often fragmented across social media, flyers, and local scenes.

The project explores how AI can support more human-centered cultural discovery by helping identify, structure, and curate underground signals that traditional algorithms and mainstream event platforms frequently overlook.

Scaling personalized learning through AI

Enterprise learning relied heavily on admins manually curating and assigning training, making personalization difficult to scale. To reduce dependency and improve learners engagement, we leveraged existing AI infrastructure and empowered users to generate personalized paths aligned with their career goals. The initiative transformed learning discovery from a largely admin-driven workflow into a scalable self-service experience.
