Approach
I focus on understanding how systems are used in practice before making changes, with attention to maintainability, clarity, and user impact. My exposure to both development and IT support contexts has shaped a practical approach to building and improving systems.
I incorporate accessibility and documentation considerations into projects to support long-term use and maintenance. This includes semantic HTML, keyboard navigation, proper error handling, and clear documentation.
Projects and Contributions
I've built and maintained internal and academic projects that solve real problems, like ticketing systems, data handling applications, and workflow tracking tools. These projects show how I apply full stack development concepts to solve practical problems.

Hobbies & Interests
Art
I enjoy creating illustrations and exploring visual design as a creative outlet outside of technology.
Retro & Niche Technologies
I have a fascination with retro and niche technologies, exploring older computing systems, vintage hardware, and lesser-known platforms that shaped the technology landscape.
Music - Trombone
I play trombone and was a member of the University of Cincinnati Bearcat Marching Band from 2020 to 2024. During my time with the band, I participated in numerous memorable events:
- Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic 2021 - Performed at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas
- DCI (Drum Corps International) Celebration Tour 2021 - Part of the special celebration events
- Big 12 Basketball Tournament 2024 - Supported UC athletics during conference play
- Countless football games at Nippert Stadium and basketball games at Fifth Third Arena
Being part of the Bearcat Marching Band was an incredible experience that taught me discipline, teamwork, and the value of being part of something larger than myself. I also performed with Concert Band and Pep Band during my university years.
Looking Ahead
I am seeking internship or entry-level roles where I can continue learning, contribute to production systems, and support teams through reliable and thoughtful technical work. I'm particularly interested in opportunities that involve systems administration, software development, or process improvement.
