Hello there! I am..
Axel Rom Ignacio
Learning. Building. Securing. One vertex at a time.
I am Axel Rom Ignacio, though I usually go by Axel Ignacio. AI Vertex is where I document what I'm building, breaking, and learning — a running record of my projects, experiments, and lessons along the way. Based in Toronto, I usually spend my weekends building something that probably didn't need to exist, playing video games, or dozing off.
