Selected work
Things I've
made happen.
Projects that connect technical depth with thoughtful execution.
01
Full-stack platform · 2026
Knight Planner
A free UCF schedule planner that unifies Kuali catalog data, live myUCF sections and seat counts, and RateMyProfessors ratings — then generates conflict-free schedules around each student's constraints.
OUTCOME
Real-time course discovery, constraint-based generation, multi-schedule saving, and one-click calendar export — with no account required.
02
Local-first travel product · 2026
NomadNote
A responsive PWA that turns saved places into realistic itineraries. Its Trip Stress Radar measures overload, map coverage, weather risk, FOMO density, and geographic spread, then recommends one useful adjustment.
OUTCOME
Shipped as a responsive, installable v1.1 product with local-first privacy, transparent itinerary heuristics, mapping, and an iOS packaging path.
03
Autonomous systems · 2025
Over-Terrain Vehicle
Led an eight-person engineering team through budgeting, system design, and iterative testing for an autonomous vehicle with Arduino-based controls and sensor pipelines.
OUTCOME
Managed budget, schedule, and iterative test cycles while improving sensor acquisition reliability and system-level integration.
04
Nonprofit · 2024–2025
Programming the Future
Founded a programming education nonprofit that reached 500+ students in underserved schools through workshops delivered by 20+ coordinated volunteers.
OUTCOME
Designed accessible Python and Scratch workshops, coordinated 20+ volunteers, and partnered with under-resourced schools.
Experience
Building in
the real world.
From aerospace systems to digital products and community programs.

A little context
Curious by nature.
Rigorous by practice.
I study electrical engineering at the University of Central Florida and work across the seams between software, hardware, people, and process.
My interests center on embedded systems, low-level programming, automation, aerospace, and emerging computing paradigms. Whether I'm modernizing a platform, leading a web team, or building an autonomous vehicle, I care about asking better questions and carrying the work all the way through.
Beyond engineeringFounded Programming the Future, delivering Python and Scratch workshops to 500+ students with 20+ volunteers. Previously served three years as a youth leader supporting children and families.
