Creator

I am a seasoned software engineer with over 10 years of experience. I have worked on habit-tracking and health-monitoring apps and contributed to building a healthcare startup based in Silicon Valley.

I have a passion for food and enjoy exploring new foods and drinks, especially Italian, Mexican, and Korean cuisines. I’m a fan of red meat, steak, burgers, fried food, and pizza, and I also love ramen, bograch, and Ukrainian borscht.

For a time, I was underweight and aimed to gain weight. I eventually reached my goal and maintained a position in the higher quartile of a normal BMI range. However, after entering my 30s, I noticed my metabolism slowing down, leading to rapid weight gain. This shift caused health issues, including low sex drive and constant fatigue, largely due to elevated blood pressure and a lack of physical activity. My doctor gave me a choice: take medication or lose weight. I chose to exercise and learn about weight management and a healthy diet. I studied scientific papers and consulted experts, which helped me return to a normal BMI.

Now, I want to share my experiences and insights on my blog and through my app, FoodIntake AI Calorie Pal, to help others achieve their health goals.
