About Me
Who am I?
I'm a self-taught software engineer with a track record of building real-world solutions that serve educators, small businesses, and communities. From streamlining access for 7,000+ educators to launching tools that help local businesses grow their presence, I focus on clean, user-centered development that makes a difference.
My path into tech was unconventional, shaped by grit and curiosity. Since breaking into the field, I've worked across the stack, led impactful projects, and kept growing by building.
When I'm not coding, I’m usually cooking or chasing down ideas that won't leave me alone.

My Projects
Here are some of my recent projects. Each one was carefully crafted to solve specific problems and showcase different skills.
Beachhead
Beachhead is an AI-powered platform that helps indie hackers and solo founders validate SaaS ideas before writing a single line of code. It combines full-stack development with AI-driven scoring to evaluate product ideas across dimensions like market demand, monetization potential, and user pain. By pulling real-world signals from Reddit discussions and Google Trends. Under the hood, it leverages OpenAI, Claude, Supabase, a custom scraper, and a robust scoring engine built to reflect real startup viability.
Tai
Tai is an AI-powered fitness trainer that creates personalized strength training plans and adapts them based on user feedback, performance, and goals, all through a simple chat-based interface. It remembers each user’s training block, weekly progression, and logged workouts to dynamically adjust programming using intelligent logic and natural language prompts. Built with React Native, OpenAI, and a structured memory system, Tai acts like a real coach by checking in on how training felt, adjusting volume or intensity, and guiding users through progressive overload with intention. The MVP focuses on conversational clarity, adaptive planning, and minimal UI friction to prove that a smarter coach can exist without a complex app.
Repair Daddy HVAC

Built to establish trust and drive inquiries, the site is optimized for clarity, speed, and mobile responsiveness, with on-page SEO best practices applied to improve search visibility and attract local traffic.
