About Me

I build real-world software tools and data-driven applications. Clear. Practical. Results-focused.

Intro

I’m a self-taught developer with a solid foundation in Python, computer science fundamentals, and building practical applications that solve meaningful problems. My background in real estate, private lending, and operations taught me how to analyze systems, manage complex workflows, and deliver results with precision and accountability.

I bring that same mindset to software engineering.

What I Do

I build practical software tools that automate processes, analyze data, and support real business workflows. Recent work includes::

  • Automated data-processing tools

  • Financial/statement parsing utilities

  • Full-stack web applications

  • Clean, reliable backend systems

  • Tools that improve workflows and decision-making

The end goal is always to build software that makes complex tasks easier and more efficient

My Developer Journey

I built my technical foundation through a series of Harvard programming courses and several University of Michigan Python courses. From there, I shifted toward a project-driven approach—focusing on building practical tools, solving real problems, and improving how I structure and reason about software through consistent hands-on work.

How I Work

I take a practical, systems-focused approach to development—build a functional piece first, evaluate it honestly, and iterate until it’s clean, reliable, and easy for others to understand. I pay close attention to clarity, structure, and real-world usefulness, and I care about delivering work that solves real problems without unnecessary complexity.
