About Me

Curious engineer.
Always building.

I'm a Software Engineer based in Kennesaw, GA. Graduated from KSU in December 2025 with a B.S. in Software Engineering and a Minor in Computer Science, Magna Cum Laude, 3.81 GPA.

Before graduating I spent six months as a Software QA Engineer intern at General Devices LLC testing a real mobile health app used by real clients. Got to write test plans, file bugs, run regression cycles, and work inside an actual Agile team. Honestly it made me a way better engineer overall.

When I'm not coding I'm usually at the gym, watching or playing soccer and basketball, gaming, or adding to my Pokémon card collection. Pretty much all of those at once if possible.

Projects

01

FlowCounts

Full-stack accounting web app built with React, Django REST Framework, and PostgreSQL. I worked on the core CRUD flows, role-based access control across three user levels, password management, and an audit log so every action was traceable. We also shipped full project docs including a Vision and Scope, SDD, and Test Plan. The demo playlist below shows the app running.

ReManned International

Sponsored capstone project where we built a responsive web app prototype for a real client. I took sponsor feedback and turned it into user flows and feature requirements, then built out wireframes and a clickable Figma prototype. Worked in sprints, helped with implementation and testing validation, and wrote the documentation. The presentation below covers the full feature development roadmap we put together for the client.

Group Leader

ProFlows

One of my earlier projects, built for a Software Project Management class where I was the group leader for a team of five. Desktop tool for SWE teams that tracks functional and non-functional requirements, risk logs, and effort hours across the full dev lifecycle. Custom dark-themed Tkinter UI with JSON-based persistence. Leading the group on this one taught me as much about communication and coordination as it did about actually writing software.
