Built a full-stack gear rating platform from scratch. It was my first venture using AI-assisted development, and I chose the tech stack, designed the product, and shipped it solo with zero prior web dev experience.

A personal command center I built for myself to keep ideas, stocks, action items, notes, and a unified overview in one place. The interesting half is Apex Signal, a dual-scanner system that uses Claude Sonnet to monitor Reddit, SEC and regulatory filings, and geopolitical news daily. It cross-references them by ticker, computes a 0–100 conviction score, and pushes an alert to my phone when something clears the threshold. I can also add new ideas straight from my iPhone through an iOS Shortcut that POSTs to a bearer-authenticated endpoint. The whole thing runs at about $8–9 a month.

A career clarity AI that asks 10 open-ended questions and delivers a personalized self-understanding profile. It isn't a personality quiz, it's a reading of who you actually are. Answers are interpreted through MBTI psychology and frameworks from Greene, Thiel, Clear, Naval, Fadell, Hormozi, and Graham. The output is a tabbed interactive profile: your words reflected back with honest interpretation, a framework lens, a pattern diagnosis, and three concrete next steps.

Designed and deployed a full home network from scratch, including a Ubiquiti gateway, managed APs, a camera system, and a custom Unraid NAS. Both the server and modem run on strategic UPS coverage for uptime. I built, configured, and maintain all of it solo.

Renovated an entire house while working full time, handling the electrical, carpentry, drywall, framing, plumbing, painting, and flooring myself. I self-managed the whole project, budget and timeline included.

Automotive enthusiast with a long history of modified builds. Current garage: a built Tacoma set up for off-road and overland adventures, and a Golf Alltrack tuned into a fast, practical dadwagon. Every vehicle gets modified because stock is just the starting point.

Designed and built an autonomous firefighting robot for the 2013 ITEC 467 Mobile Robotics competition. Handled all mechanical design and taught myself Basic from scratch to program a BX-24P microcontroller. Won Best Firefighting Robot.

Led the full team and managed five sub-teams of students through the 2013 ATMAE National Championship, and we won. Each sub-team owned a specific robot system. I handled mechanical design personally and engineered the ground ball ingestion system from scratch.

Independent study with no syllabus and no structure. Built and programmed a humanoid robot to play soccer with a partner. I owned the striker, handling its movement, decision-making, and ball interaction, while my partner handled the goalie. The end goal was a full 3-robot team. Two of us, two robots, figuring it out as we went.
