CODING PROJECTS

WHAT I'M LEARNING


SMART MIRROR
COMPLETED Smart Mirror Project
  • Built a fully functional smart mirror using a Raspberry Pi 4, a repurposed flat-screen TV, and open-source mirror software
  • Designed and constructed a custom wooden frame with my dad, learning hands-on fabrication and measurement
  • Installed two-way mirror glass over the display to create a seamless reflective surface with hidden UI
  • Configured the Raspberry Pi (Linux) to auto-boot and run the mirror interface reliably
  • Integrated modules for time, weather, calendar, and system info through open-source plugins
  • Troubleshot power, display orientation, and boot issues to make it "appliance-like"
  • Optimized cost by sourcing materials myself (pro tip: use acrylic instead of glass—saves ~$100)
SNAPCHAT / IG AR FILTER CREATION
COMPLETED Snapchat AR Filter
  • Created custom Snapchat AR filters that simulate a thermal camera effect
  • Designed the visual logic and color mapping to mimic real infrared imaging
  • Most viewed lens published grew to 140,000+ views organically
  • Learned Lens Studio and Spark AR fundamentals: face tracking, shaders, layering, and performance constraints

IN PROGRESS

I've been teaching myself to code with Udemy and YouTube since sophomore year of high school. In high school I built a simple social app for me and my friends. Since then I've coded multiple prototypes.


GOAL

Build an app that helps people stay off their phones, live in the moment, and use technology more intentionally.

I've started a lifestyle brand where my end goal is to have fair-trade approved clothing built for people who live in motion—outdoors, extreme sports, creatives, and anyone pushing boundaries. The product focus is clothing that moves with you and holds up in real conditions. Right now I'm creating my first product: the NOMAD 1 everything khaki.

I've spent years behind soundboards and wiring stages, running audio for churches, venues, and university events. From setting up complete systems to jumping in mid-event to fix failed gear, I'm comfortable solving problems on the fly and keeping shows seamless. I take pride in being the reliable, low-ego person who makes the technical side disappear so the experience works.

Wakeboarding

WAKEBOARDING

OUTLET DISCIPLINE LEADERSHIP

PHOTOS

Wakeboarding Photo 1 Wakeboarding Photo 2 Wakeboarding Photo 3

Wakeboarding is how I reset. It's my outlet, my discipline, and the place I learned how to lead without overthinking. I grew up spending every Fourth of July at my grandparents' lake house, where the water became home and progression became addictive. That turned into real responsibility on Lake Crew at Camp Ozark, driving boats, coaching kids from their first deep-water start to advanced tricks, and keeping high-risk environments safe while still letting campers build confidence and push themselves.


WHAT IT TAUGHT ME

It's early mornings, sunburns, broken gear, scared beginners, and riders chasing the next breakthrough. Wakeboarding taught me how to stay calm in chaos, lead through action, and earn progress through repetition.
