Previously an Implementation Engineer at Uncountable (YC W19), where I built ingestion pipelines, custom parsers, and internal tooling for materials science clients.

BS in Computer Science, Mathematics, and Biochemistry from UW–Madison (2025). While there I co-authored two preprints.

Sentinel — Personal AI engineering assistant that runs as a Discord bot. Autonomously scans, fixes, and deploys code across multiple GitHub repos via Claude Code CLI. Features PR review with auto-merge, a self-healing guardian watchdog, phased multi-PR builds for complex tasks, per-repo learning/memory, and Discord message ingestion via a custom Vencord plugin. Python, discord.py, SQLAlchemy, deployed on Hetzner VPS with systemd. Currently closed-source — will be open-sourced soon.

SciBowl.live — Platform for the National Science Bowl community (React/TypeScript, Django/PostgreSQL). Includes tournament discovery, the largest invitational packet repository in Science Bowl, and MoSS — a moderating tool that reduces staffing to one person per room with real-time score tracking and buzzpoint stats. Used by teams at Stanford, Johns Hopkins, UCLA, and others. ~50 daily active users.

SharpLab — Quantitative sports betting research infrastructure. Automated odds ingestion across major sportsbooks every 30 minutes, closing line capture at tip-off, and bet tracking measured against closing line value (CLV). Built on Temporal for durable workflow orchestration with a Discord bot interface. Python, async throughout, SQLite.

nba-modeling — Hybrid NBA player rating system combining Regularized Adjusted Plus-Minus (RAPM) with Elo-style per-possession updates. Produces three-dimensional ratings (Offense, Defense, Pace) for every player from play-by-play data. Feeds downstream spread prediction and lineup optimization. Python, scikit-learn, SQLite.

DayTour — Web app for planning multi-stop day itineraries. Build sequences of stops, reorder locations, and visualize complete day plans without scattered notes. Django, SQLite.

wca-block-stats — Visual query builder for World Cube Association data. Translates block-style specs into SQL with window functions and GNPG queries. Python, SQLAlchemy, Flask.

Applied math, sports analytics, prediction markets, data modeling, backend systems, developer tooling, chess, poker, Rubik's cubes, GeoGuessr.
