SOME PROJECTS I'M WORKING ON:

Metrics as of October 2026.

Track Toolkit↗
  • Web toolkit for SoundCloud DJs and power users — playlist merging, bulk unlike/unfollow, repost management, dead track detection.
  • Built with Next.js + Node.js/Express REST backend, SoundCloud OAuth2 + PKCE, AES-256-GCM token encryption, HMAC-signed sessions, and PostgreSQL + Prisma.
  • 4,428 users and 2.7M tracks processed.
unfollowr↗
  • Local-first Instagram analytics tool (browser-side parsing) serving ~2,000 users.
  • Upload your data exports to see who unfollowed you — no login required.
  • Non-followers are segmented by a client-side heuristic; only anonymous usage analytics leave the browser.
RushRank
  • Rush management app for fraternity recruitment — live voting with a swipe-based interface, real-time results over custom FastAPI WebSockets.
  • Built with Next.js + FastAPI, PostgreSQL/Supabase via asyncpg, Supabase Auth (magic-link), and QR check-in.
  • Piloted with a six-chapter independent Interfraternity Council near Chico State, covering 600 actives and 150 potential new members, for Fall 2026 rush.
decks↗
  • Local-first desktop app for Rekordbox DJ libraries — reads the encrypted library directly and gives DJs the bulk edits and duplicate detection the official software doesn't expose.
  • Rust, Tauri, TypeScript, SQLCipher.
  • In development.
AI Listing Generator
  • OpenAI-powered tool for real estate professionals to generate listing descriptions in minutes.
  • Multi-step form with Zod validation, Supabase Auth with domain-restricted RLS, generation history, and AI output comparison.
  • Built with React, TypeScript, and Supabase.
PolyEats
  • Nutrition tracking and meal planning for Cal Poly students, built around campus dining menus pulled from three dining-service APIs into one schema.
  • Native SwiftUI iOS app and React web client on one Supabase backend; AI meal plans via Supabase Edge Functions and OpenAI with a local fallback; budget and progress tracking.
  • Running a 30-user campus pilot.
Lake Washington Detailing Website
  • Mobile detailing business site with Calendly scheduling and vehicle-based estimator.

Currently focused on AI automation, full-stack development, and building tools that solve real problems.

CURRENT WORK:

Software Engineer, Student Volunteer @ AIS4R, Cal Poly CS Department

  • Building incident-level access control for IntelliSAR, a search-and-rescue coordination dashboard, across its Next.js and Firebase stack.

Computer Science Lead @ AI Ethics Lab (AIEL), Cal Poly

  • Lead the computer science side of an interdisciplinary research lab.
  • Co-authored the State of AI report for Cal Poly's Academic Senate Ad Hoc Committee on Generative AI, conducting interviews across academic colleges, and built a Google Apps Script survey pipeline covering all six colleges.

Founder & Operator @ Cole Soles

  • Founded and scaled an e-commerce resale business to $300K+ in revenue across 1,000+ transactions on Amazon, eBay, and local channels.
  • Built inventory and profitability tracking systems to manage stock, margin, and cash flow.

PAST WORK:

Software Development Engineer Intern, Product Engineering @ Keystone, Seattle

  • Interviewed consultants across healthcare, technology, and business development to find where manual relationship tracking cost the most time, surfacing that only 39 of 96 tracked contacts had a recorded last touch.
  • Built the Python pipeline as its sole engineer, turning law-firm news and email digests into routed relationship signals that matched 86.9% of 465 signals to the firm or person who owned them.
  • Raised usable article text from 19% to 73% across 86 items with a full-body top-up stage, converting snippets extraction could not parse into content that yielded named attorneys.
  • Reframed the brief from lead generation to relationship intelligence after finding existing tooling already served the original framing, then ranked 12 use cases on a six-dimension matrix to recommend a three-use-case MVP.
  • Presented the final readout to leadership.

Campus Ambassador @ Lovable

  • Represented Lovable at Cal Poly, organizing events and building student communities to educate and inspire new builders.

Full Stack Software Engineer @ PolyBuys (CodeBox Club)

  • Built Cal Poly email and OTP authentication, listing search and filtering, reporting with auto-hide for reported listings, and OpenAI moderation.
  • Worked in a React Native (Expo), Convex, and TypeScript monorepo on a 10-person team; the app reached 250+ downloads and signups in the first month after its May 2026 launch.

Campus Partner @ Perplexity

  • Promoted the Comet browser and Perplexity AI across Cal Poly through student communities, events, and peer engagement.

AI & Software Engineering Intern @ Elite Bricks, Remote

  • Owned internal operations tooling end to end, from data model to AWS deployment.

Founder @ Lake Washington Detailing
