Software Engineer
Graduate researcher, software engineer, and curious problem solver. Currently at NASA Langley Research Center, building systems that make messy data useful - from data pipelines to LLM platforms to serverless sites.
Selected Projects
Full-stack RAG chatbot tailored for UNCW sociology students — the first LLM built around their course materials. Shipped 6 prototype iterations bi-weekly and designed the full system architecture from faculty requirements.
Flask-based inventory application featuring a custom Python pipeline that parses complex PDF invoices with 95% accuracy. Includes token-based auth, password hashing, and session management for secure multi-user access.
Freelance client site sourced, pitched, and closed for $1,150. Serverless lead-capture routes form data to Google Sheets via Google Apps Script — zero recurring CRM cost. Built as a lean static site for instant load times.
Graduate researcher at NASA Langley's Systems Design Innovation cohort. Designing data architecture to support engineering decision-making at scale.

Background
I'm a Master's student in Computer Science at UNC Wilmington (GPA 4.0), with a background in Exercise Science — which means I came to software through curiosity, not a straight line. That cross-disciplinary lens shapes how I approach problems: systems thinking, user focus, and a preference for solutions that actually work in the real world.
I gravitate toward data engineering and full-stack work — building the infrastructure that makes information actionable, whether that's a cloud pipeline at a fintech company, graduate research at NASA, or a serverless lead-capture form for a self-publishing author.
Outside of code, I'm usually on a trail somewhere. I've completed multiple section hikes on the Appalachian Trail — there's something about long-distance solo backpacking that sharpens your judgment about what actually matters.
