About

I've been the tech guy in my family for as long as I can remember — when the wifi went out, everyone looked at me. That role turned into curiosity, curiosity turned into CS classes in high school, and I never looked back. I've always been a logical and creative person, and computer science is the middle of both: rigorous enough to satisfy the part of me that wants things to make sense, open-ended enough for the part that wants to make things.

I studied computer science at Auburn University and graduated in fall 2025 — three and a half years, summa cum laude, as an Honors Scholar with a certificate in AI engineering. But the classroom was only half of it. I was president of the Web Development Club, running weekly build challenges for anyone who wanted to learn by making. I competed with the Competitive Programming team, poked at security with the Ethical Hacking Club, and stayed involved with ACM and the Honors College. Auburn is also where a lot of the projects on this site were born.

Now I'm an Associate Software Engineer at Aderant in Atlanta, building AI-powered features for legal practice software — taking the machine learning I studied and putting it to work on problems real firms have every day.

What drives me underneath all of it is self-improvement. I want to help people explore their interests in life and grow closer to the person they want to be — that's the thread connecting a scheduling app with a social accountability layer, a club built around weekly projects, and honestly, most of what I choose to work on.

The rest of me lives outside the terminal. I spent nine summers at Camp Rockmont in the North Carolina mountains, first as a camper and then on staff as a whitewater kayaking and canoeing instructor. I play five instruments. I'll take a chess game whenever offered. And I write — poetry and short stories, which you can read over in writing. I used to think those pieces of me were separate from the engineering; now I think they're the point. You have to be able to be yourself to fully bring yourself to the people around you — the philosophical side, the musical side, the fun side — and to help them do the same.
