code & a little
play.

A little corner of my world.

Good company.

Good questions.
Something worth
figuring out.

Websites. Systems. Small experiments.

Built with care. Best explored with curiosity.

I like getting
into the details.

I'm a developer at the University of Arizona, with 10+ years building for the web. I work on websites, the tools behind them, and AI projects that help our teams get things done.

Selected work

A few things I've helped make.
My part, the decisions, and what happened.

A big next step.
A site built around it.

Custom recruitment experiences for students deciding what comes next.

My role

Co-founder & technical lead. I owned the AI workflows, crawler, and reporting logic.

The decision

Separate crawl collection from generation. Share product and technical decisions with my co-founder.

The honest result

We shipped prompt tracking, citations, weekly reports, and schema generation. The product did not gain traction.

Automate the clear cases.
Keep people in the loop.

I built an agent that checks logo proposals against brand policy and retrieves relevant guidance. Ambiguous and policy-sensitive submissions stay with human reviewers.

The judgment behind the workflow

One bracket question.
10,000 simulations.

An office bracket question turned into data collection, model training, and a full NCAA prediction project.

A rabbit hole worth following.

In your corner.
In the code.

Usually the
support main.

I'm happiest when we're figuring something out together.

That might mean building a frontend, helping an editor with Drupal, connecting systems, or untangling a team's workflow. I like asking questions, sharing what I learn, and getting into the details.

I went back to school for electrical and computer engineering. Learning alongside other people helped me build confidence—and made me more willing to try before I feel ready.

The longer professional story

Off the
clock.

On your team.

Lorcana, co-op with friends, and Cloak & Dagger in Marvel Rivals. I like a challenge, and having my team's back.

What's cooking?

Fusion food is my thing. I like trying a new combination and cooking for people.

One more chapter.

Spider-Man, Naruto, Big Hero 6, and fantasy books. There's usually music on, too.
