I'm a developer and researcher who likes building things that matter whether that's a mobile app used by hundreds of students, a research tool detecting protein dynamics, or a hackathon project thrown together in 24 hours. Here's a more complete picture of what I've been up to.

Working with the Enterprise Information Management Group on the bureau's asset management systems. I've been optimizing SQL Server schemas by migrating legacy data from various regional sources, and interviewing field users to turn real complaints into actual database improvements.
Also building out data dashboards using Microsoft enterprise tools for Western US regional offices, and independently developing the Land Use Authorization System, a Next.js and FastAPI app that automates SF-299 form tracking and multi-stage approval workflows for the bureau.
Joined as a freshman to help build a mobile study app for UT Austin students within Longhorn Developers, an open source development org @ UT Austin. Worked across the full stack, collaboration heavily with our design team and project managers to ship features.

Built during my HIP-SAT internship at the Galloway Lab (MIT). Used SNAP circuits to detect and analyze p53 protein dynamics, with automated graph generation in Python.

Personal & Hackathon Projects
Designing a custom ESP32 devboard built for hackathons. The main goal is native LiPo battery support so you can run it untethered without any extra hardware. Compact, hackable, and ready to throw into a project without thinking about power.
Collaborated with a wonderful team to build a system around a
Raspberry Pi, interfacing MQ-series gas sensors and a DHT11 humidity
sensor through its GPIO pins.
The sensors continuously collect environmental data, with thresholds
used to detect hazardous conditions. A Python-based pipeline processes this
data in real time, triggering alerts when unsafe levels are reached. We
also integrated a depth camera to map the surrounding tunnel geometry, enabling
more accurate simulations of gas diffusion and allowing us to visualize
and predict how hazards spread through the environment.
Earned 3rd place in the ASUS Societal Impact track and 4th place in the QNX Hardware track.

A little bit of a personal project but I built a compass that points to the nearest Waffle House using Next.js, Geolocation API, Device Orientation API, and Waffle House's location data.
My brothers and I have a tradition where we always go to Waffle House whenever we're all together. This project was inspired by that tradition

My brother and I spent 48 hours building at GitHub HQ in San Francisco on a project building a hardware device that gives poker players the probability of their hand winning. Event was a lot of fun and project came out great!
After building this, my brother and I proceeded to get stuck in the Denver airport for 24 hours.

Built a full stack React Native/Expo frontend, a Flask backend, and a TensorFlow CNN trained to classify dermoscopic images. Used Hugging Face to optimize the model and Linode to host and stage the backend. Ended up hitting 91.3% accuracy. This was for the Beaver Works Medlytics Capstone project
