Andre Cliff – About

Hey, I’m Andre Cliff

AI enthusiast, digital builder, and lifelong learner exploring the intersection of creativity and technology.

I’m a U.S. Air Force veteran with an active secret security clearance, a lifelong learner, and—most recently—someone completely fascinated by the world of AI.
I won’t oversell myself: I’m not an expert or a seasoned AI professional (not yet, anyway). Everything you see on this site comes from my own experiments, projects, and hours spent figuring things out for myself. My background isn’t in computer science or data engineering. I’m a builder, creative, and AI enthusiast who’s decided to train myself from the ground up—one prompt, one project, one lesson at a time.
Andre Cliff learning AI and building digital projects at home.
“I’m driven by curiosity and a need to figure things out for myself. Every project here is a step forward, even if it’s not polished or perfect.”

What I’m Working On

Messy notes and sketches from Andre's AI learning journey.

AI Prompt Engineering (in training)

Building prompt systems for LLMs, DALL·E, Sora, and other generative AI tools. My goal: learn by doing, share what I find, and help others avoid the headaches I’ve already had.

Digital Product Experiments

Launching tools and resources like Arklyt to document my progress and hopefully make things easier for other learners.

Content Creation

Writing blog posts, sharing breakdowns of what works (and what flops), and staying open about the process—the good, the bad, and the learning curve.

  • 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Dad, husband, and lifelong improviser

Let’s Connect

I’m looking to connect with others—especially folks open to junior roles, freelance gigs, collaborations, or just swapping ideas. If you’re interested in working with someone who’s eager, reliable, and never afraid to say “I don’t know (yet),” let’s talk.
