Coding Projects

CODING PROJECTS

WHAT I'M BUILDING NOW

Software that turns messy operating workflows into clear, usable systems
Interfaces that make financial and operational data easier to understand
Hands-on hardware and software projects through UAH's Space Hardware Club
Fast prototypes with an emphasis on usability, iteration, and real-world constraints

ASSET MANAGEMENT REPORTING PORTAL — STOIC EQUITY PARTNERS

IN DEVELOPMENT

Developing an internal asset management portal that connects QuickBooks financial data with property rent rolls
Centralizes information used across commercial real estate asset-management workflows
Designed to reduce manual work and accelerate quarterly report preparation
Built from direct exposure to property operations, manager calls, and reporting needs

CANSAT TWO-MONTH PROGRAM — SPACE HARDWARE CLUB

TEAM LEAD

Serving as a team lead in UAH's Space Hardware Club for the CanSat two-month program
Working in a multidisciplinary build environment that combines technical execution, coordination, and deadlines

SMART MIRROR

COMPLETED

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

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

BUILD HISTORY

I started teaching myself to code in high school and have kept building prototypes ever since. The projects have changed, but the pattern has not: find something inefficient or interesting, build a version, test it, and keep improving it.

HOW I WORK

I care less about collecting frameworks than about getting useful things working. I like moving between the business problem, the interface, and the implementation instead of treating them as separate worlds.

SCREENSHOTS

Pants Project

NOMAD 1 PANT

FAIR-TRADE EXTREME-LIFESTYLE APPAREL PAST VENTURE

WHAT I'M LEARNING

People don't buy products. They buy signals about who they are.
You market to what the customer wants, not what you want, meaning you have to get surveys and have conversations with potential buyers and also random people
Product quality is everything (everything down to the ratio of different fabrics can make or break your product)
Manufacturer relationships are complex but essential

PHOTOS

Nomad was an early product venture that taught me how much work sits behind a physical product: customer discovery, grants, tech packs, sourcing, samples, manufacturing conversations, and iteration. I no longer present it as my primary focus, but it remains one of the projects that pushed me from having ideas to actually trying to build them.

TRACTION

Secured $3,000+ in university entrepreneurship grants
Flat sketches + tech packs created
Initial manufacturing path explored (Bangladesh → production in Pakistan)
Worked through multiple sourcing and sample iterations
Learned how quickly product quality, supplier communication, and unit economics can change a plan

Fraternity

Mississippi State University

OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT PROBLEM-SOLVING

Served in a high-accountability residential leadership role where operations were real: leases, rent collection, vendors, contractors, meal service, maintenance emergencies, and facility standards. The experience gave me an early operating education in responsibility, communication, and keeping a 50-person residence functioning when plans changed.

Audio

LIVE / AV WORK

TECHNICAL LIVE PRODUCTION AUDIO

PHOTOS

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 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.
