Background

About Me

Always tinkering,
always curious.

I'm Chezky. I like building things and figuring out how stuff works — mostly in the AI and voice tech space lately.

I've been playing a lot with speech recognition, especially for Yiddish, which is one of those languages the AI world mostly ignores. I find that interesting.

I also like automation, developer tools, and building little things that solve everyday problems. This blog is where I write about whatever I'm exploring at the moment.
