I genuinely believe that if each of us takes a bit of time—whether it’s daily, weekly, monthly, or even once a year—to help others, we can make a meaningful difference in the world. Even small acts of service, when multiplied across a community, can create a powerful ripple effect. This is where service truly matters.
In my own life, I strive to be as helpful as I can—not because I have to, but because helping others makes me happy. There's a deep joy in seeing someone smile, grow, or succeed because of something I was able to offer, however small it may be.
Over the years, I’ve volunteered in various roles and taken part in initiatives that aim to support individuals, students, and communities. On this page, I’ve highlighted a few of those service experiences—each one a reminder of how connected we all are, and how much we can do when we choose to care.
In this workshop, I discussed how to fine-tune your own Generative Al (GAI). Participants learned how to set up a local WordPress environment, install and configure the Al Engine plugin, and integrate it with an Al API such as OpenAl. The session covered the fundamentals of fine-tuning, including adjusting parameters, uploading custom datasets, and training the model for specific use cases. By the end of the session, participants had the knowledge to create and deploy a customized Al model within WordPress.
