Hi, I'm Elena.
Curious about AI? So am I — I code, experiment, and share what I find.
Practical AI, Python coding, and honest notes from a computer scientist learning in public.

Listen: AI Trust & Safety
I joined Cláudia Lima Costa's podcast to talk AI evolution — from data sources and copyright to privacy, explainability, and what it actually takes to build AI that's safe and helpful. A real conversation, not a panel.

About me
I'm Elena — a computer scientist and technical blogger exploring AI, Python, machine learning, and the changing world of software.
This blog is where I test tools, explain concepts, and write down what I learn — so you can follow along without needing to decode hype, marketing, or academic fog. Ten years in engineering and IT consulting taught me that the gap between "technically possible" and "actually works" is where the interesting stuff lives.
Happy reading — and if something sparked a question, write to me.
