A portfolio of the projects I have been building across AI, local tooling, macOS apps, web experiences, visualization, and developer frameworks.
This README reflects the public repositories currently visible on my GitHub profile and summarizes the work in each project.
- GitHub: https://github.com/MickyBalladelli
