I build software and
ship products.
MS CS graduate from Indiana University Bloomington. I spend my time writing backend systems, building full-stack products, and obsessing over developer experience. Currently building two products in public.
What I'm building
An interactive presentation delivery platform. Presenters get real-time audience engagement tools — polls, Q&A, reactions — without breaking their flow. A Canva-like slide editor is in the works.
A utility-first tool for live event production. Create rundowns, manage show timers, and push custom outputs to screens — built for AV teams, church services, and live event crews who need precision under pressure.
Engineering
Backend & Systems
Node.js, Python, Java. Comfortable designing REST APIs, working with relational databases, and thinking about scale from the start.
Frontend
React, Next.js, TypeScript. I care about the interface as much as the system behind it — speed, accessibility, and feel.
Infrastructure
AWS, Docker, CI/CD basics. Enough to ship and operate what I build without someone else holding the keys.
How I work
I bias toward shipping. I write things down, break problems into small pieces, and care deeply about code other people can read.
Get in touch
Recently graduated. Open to full-time SWE roles. Also happy to talk about anything you're building.
