Software, ML & quantitative systems.
I build software where the math has to hold up: e-commerce platforms, ML pipelines, privacy-preserving verification. Starting a B.S. in Mathematics (Data Science) at George Mason this fall.

About
I like problems that look messy until you find the structure underneath: a proof, a broken build, a process that needs redesigning. Most of my work sits where quantitative methods meet working systems. An e-commerce platform with over a thousand users, a resume pipeline built on deterministic checks, an age verification tool that doesn't ask who you are.
This fall I start a B.S. in Mathematics (Data Science concentration) at George Mason, on an accelerated track toward an M.S. in Mathematics. And I ship software people actually use.
Projects
Creator
Chrono
Built to verify age without exposing who you are, because age checks shouldn't cost people their privacy.
System design
- Led product strategy and contributed to system design and backend architecture.
- Issues signed age-band credentials without storing names, birthdates, or ID images.
Build
- Built 6 REST API endpoints covering registration, authentication, scoped token issuance, field-level access control, and instant revocation, with JWT auth and bcrypt hashing.
- Translated 4 compliance requirements into testable system behaviors: credential expiry, revocation, and multi-tier assurance.
Recognition
- Delivered a working prototype and pitch inside the 24-hour hackathon window.
- 2nd place in both the Cybersecurity and Gemini API tracks.
