Building things that matter.
I am a professional problem solver using software to empower people.
Selected projects
These are the projects that taught me something worth keeping. From interactive D3 visualizations to structured documentation layouts, each one pushed my understanding of what software can do.
Product Landing Page
Responsive brand page with clean CSS architecture and semantic HTML.
Technical Documentation
Sidebar-navigated doc layout with structured, accessible markup.
Tribute Page
Narrative biographical layout with deliberate visual pacing.
Choropleth
County-level data mapping with interactive D3.js rendering.
Heat Map
Global temperature trends visualized as a monthly heat grid.
Tree Map
Hierarchical data exploration with D3 treemap layout.
Bar Chart
Animated GDP-by-country visualization across decades.
Scatter Plot

Who I am
Born in Kansas City. Raised in Shawnee, Kansas. B.S. Computer Science, minor in Physics - Kansas State University, May 2024. Today, I'm an Assistant Software Developer at Burns & McDonnell.
I discovered computer science in high school as a surprise. What I thought was "only for nerds" turned out to be the perfect intersection of logic and creativity. I spent my senior year building games in Unity with C#, and that hooked me.
College sharpened the focus. The first half deepened my C#; then Python and data science took over - and I haven't looked back. Database systems, software architecture, concurrent programming, algorithms - I wanted to understand it all.
Since graduating, I joined Burns & McDonnell's Aviation & Federal Global Practice. I sit alongside the architects and engineers in A&F every day, building internal tools that compress hours of work into seconds. My job is to listen, find the friction, and write software that makes it disappear. I believe the best engineers never stop being students - and every day in A&F teaches me something new.

Let's connect
I'm always interested in hearing from people building things that matter, whether that's across aviation, federal systems, or something I haven't encountered yet.
