Introduction

Hello, I am Soya. I have spent about six years in the web industry and work as a full-stack engineer.

I started my career in manufacturing, then shifted into system engineering through a few twists and turns. Along the way, I realized I wanted to reduce manual work and help people focus on creative output, so today I focus on building AI-assisted automation workflows.
