WHO AM I?

Hi, I’m Amin Khansari, an architect and programmer based in France.

I enjoy exploring how tech, product, generative AI, and people come together when building useful software.
This blog is where I share what I learn along the way, or whatever else sparks my curiosity.

LLM usage on this site:
As English is not my main language, after writing content, I sometimes use generative AI.
Either to fix spelling or grammar errors, or to detect and sometimes improve long, bad, or hard-to-read sentences.
