A little more about me.

Determined, outgoing, and a bit chronically online. I like good UI, clean code, and projects with a good challenge.

Featured work

Three projects that showcase my abilities.

Senior Capstone Featured

Automated Enterprise Data Pipeline

Developed an automated backend pipeline to eliminate manual data entry bottlenecks and modernize operational workflows for a corporate sponsor. The system orchestrates end-to-end processing by programmatically intercepting cloud data streams, sanitizing input fields, and dynamically mapping payloads into standardized enterprise templates.

  • Engineered a full-lifecycle data processing pipeline using Python and Windows Batch scripting.
  • Optimized multi-source data ingestion models to eliminate manual business overhead and entry error.
  • Maintained high-availability data mapping workflows while ensuring strict data schema integrity.

Patriot Radar: PatriotHacks 2026

Co-developed a real-time, crowdsourced incident reporting prototype for campus security monitoring within a highly intensive 36-hour sprint. The platform coordinates a rapid web architecture with role-based access control dashboards, utilizing context-specific AI prompt modeling to accelerate development and debugging lifecycles.

  • Integrated a highly responsive client UI layout using React.js and Tailwind CSS with a robust data backend interface.
  • Built a role-based access control framework separating administrative dashboards from general user view screens.
  • Utilized context-specific AI prompt modeling to accelerate structural development workflows and debugging.

AniWatch: Full Stack Anime Tracker

Built a secure, full-stack database application using component-driven development to enable real-time tracking, sorting, and user catalog management. The platform leverages cloud infrastructure to enforce granular column-level access controls, protecting data transmission and user isolation across a scalable relational environment.

  • Developed a reactive, single-page UI architecture using React 18, TypeScript, and Vite.
  • Engineered relational database models and authentication tables powered by a Supabase cloud backend.
  • Enforced database security policies using custom Row-Level Security (RLS) constraints.

How I work

When approached with a problem, I like to consult with my resources and research the problem to find a solution. I also enjoy learning new technologies and frameworks to expand my skillset and knowledge.

I enjoy working on projects that challenge me to think critically and creatively. Both taking ownership of a project from start to finish and working with other toward a common goal are highly rewarding for me.

Interests

The nerd radar

The readings are off the charts! These are just a few of my interests that keep me going.

Custom keyboards

Switches, keycaps, and the endless rabbit hole of “it's just a hobby.”

Building PCs

Legos, but better! (and more expensive...)

Gaming

Core to who I am. FPS, RPGs, and rhythm games are my fav genres, but I play a little of everything!

Watching anime

Currently Watching: One Piece, Naruto Shippuden, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Gachiakuta.

Music

Cochise, Tyler, PinkPantheress, Playboi Carti, and Malcolm Todd are constantly on rotation. I also love discovering new artists and genres!

Persona RPG series

The music, the gameplay,the story, Persona has it all! Every entry in the series is equally as fun and beautiful. I can't wait for Persona 4 Revival and Persona 6!

YouTubers

CoryxKenshin and MKBHD are always in the rotation, but I love watching content about new tech, gaming, and self-hosting.

Programming

I enjoy creating and troubleshooting code. It makes me think critically and pushes me to learn new things.
