What I do

Design + Development

With my knowledge outside of class, I tinkered with a few technologies such as MySQL, PHP, and various various js libraries, so with that knowledge I decided to make some software projects, featured below. Creating very server heavy processes liek a login - system, an online Mario game, and a few others.

Research

I love researching topics for fun. Each week I find a new topic that amuses me, and I just dive deep in, learning all about it. Infact I know all the world's natins & their capitals, the 100 tallest buildings, how each state voted in all presidential elections(which I have written papers on), and a bunch more info I can tell you in person.

Data Visualization

My passion for learning has extended to numbers, and I want to share that information through visualizations such as Maps & Graphs. I have made several maps on topics such as the number of skyscrapers per U.S. State. My maps have won awards, reaching #1 on Reddit and included in the Judicial Appointments divison of the Ohio Rotary Club.

What Led me to Rivian

Last Summer (2023) I worked as a Software Engineering Intern at Fidelity Investments, creating a tokenized securities fundraising platform. A revolutionary idea, breaking the traditional stocks & securities industry. Where companies(Issuers) ready to IPO put their tokens on the exchange, while Investors get to choose a plethora of tokens minted by several companies to chose to IPO with tokens instead of stocks

Previously I was with Amplify Education & Desmos an education Software Company working on a project that uses Vocie Recognition to grade and instruct K-8 on their reading levels. In Addition to continuing with my API work and backend skills. Creating new data pipelines for exisitng projects used by our customers, primarily private schools.
