ProjectsIntroduction
About Me
I'm a rising senior studying Computer Science and Economics at Wake Forest University. Outside of class, I serve as President of our Robotics Club and build side projects that blend code with creativity. I'm especially interested in how technology intersects with finance, automation, and real-world impact. Whether it’s collaborating on software engineering projects or diving deep into data analysis, I’m always looking to grow, contribute, and make a difference.
My Skills
What am I up to now?
- Exploring cloud engineering, backend/frontend development, and data science through hands-on projects and virtual internships
- Leading Wake Forest’s Robotics Club and mentoring members on autonomous systems and programming
- Building side projects that blend AI, finance, and automation—trying to turn late-night ideas into working prototypes
Personal Projects
JP Morgan SWE Micro-Internship
Completed a virtual micro-internship through Forage simulating a role at JPMorgan Chase. Tackled real-world challenges like setting up a Spring Boot backend, integrating Apache Kafka for streaming transactions, and debugging async data flow. A hands-on dive into enterprise software engineering, scalable systems, and modern fintech infrastructure.
XRP Autonomous Robot
Engineered an autonomous XRP robot using Python, sensor integration, and line-following algorithms. As President of the Robotics Club, I took a lead role in the project by guiding technical decisions, coordinating tasks, and teaching newer members how to build and program the robot. It was like giving a Roomba a brain—and a mission, powered by embedded systems and real-time decision making.
Portfolio Website
Designed and developed from the ground up using Next.js, Tailwind CSS, and React Icons. This site highlights my frontend skills, personal brand, and attention to clean design. It is fully responsive, easy to maintain, and built to grow alongside my portfolio. Think of it as my digital handshake that is clean, functional, and just a little nerdy in the best way.
Authoring Assistant in Java
Built a Java-based authoring tool that lets users format text with ease using ArrayLists and StringBuilder under the hood. It supports live preview and real-time editing for inputs up to 1,500 characters, making it perfect for quick drafts, structured writing, and experimenting with creative ideas on the fly.
