About me

After graduating with an undergraduate degree in Computer Science, I decided to pursue my passion for programming. I enrolled in a masters at Cornell and continued studying Computer Science. My love for programming comes from the ability to solve any problem. I love the feeling of finally figuring out a solution to a problem. My core stack is React, Next.js, Node.js, Express.js and MongoDB. I am also familiar with Python and Django. I am always looking to learn new technologies. I am currently looking for a full-time position as a software engineer after I graduate with my masters in May 2025.

When I'm not coding, I enjoy playing poker, watching basketball, and listening to music. I also enjoy learning new things. I am currently learning about real estate. I'm also trying to improve at cooking.

My projects

SideHustler

This was the final group project of my web dev 2 class. We built a full stack marketplace that connects freelancers with clients. The frontend uses React.js, Tailwind, and Firebase. The backend uses Express.js and MongoDB. Additionally, we used ImageMagick, Vercel and Web Sockets.

  • React
  • Express.js
  • MongoDB
  • Tailwind
  • Firebase

Boat Detector

Fun project to detect boats from a webcam pointed at the Hudson River and upload the images to a website. I used a YOLOv8 model to detect the boats, Google Cloud Storage to store the images, PostgreSQL to store the metadata, and Express to serve the site.

  • Computer Vision
  • Express.js
  • PostgreSQL
  • Google Cloud

Pive

My biggest project to date. Pive is a full stack marketplace that partners up with local liquor stores to deliver alcohol to customers. It allows users to search for products from nearby stores, add them to their cart, and checkout. The frontend uses React.js, Tailwind, Stripe, and Google Maps. The backend uses Django and PostgreSQL.

  • React
  • Django
  • PostgreSQL
  • Tailwind
  • Stripe
  • Google Maps

SG Headless Content Management System

This was a great project to learn Flask and Jinja HTML templating. I worked with a great team of 7 to build a headless CMS. It was a great learning experience, both technically and professionally. We used Github and Trello to manage the project.

  • Flask
  • Jinja
  • SQLite
  • Bootstrap
