03 / THE HUMAN IN THE LOOPHI, WE’RE PATRICK & SU.
Serious about AI.
Human about it.
I’m Patrick—an AI architect, builder, and teacher. I turn real projects into practical lessons for people who want to understand the technology by doing something with it.
Su and I bring that same curiosity to creative experiments, stories, and life outside the architecture diagram.
