Software engineer. Philosophy major. Builder of things that work.
I'm a full-stack engineer based in the Philadelphia area, with 6+ years building production TypeScript and React systems. Before I wrote code professionally, I studied philosophy and visual arts β which mostly means I think too hard about everything and care deeply about whether software actually makes sense to the person using it.
I care about accessibility, thoughtful architecture, and being the kind of engineer who can talk to anyone in the room. Now I'm building for myself and looking for the next right thing.
Things I've built
Full-stack TypeScript monorepo for comic deal discovery. Automated Reddit polling, configurable keyword scoring engine, paginated REST API, PostgreSQL + Prisma, React dashboard, Discord webhook alerts. Deployed on AWS EC2 + RDS.
Browser-based speech analysis tool. Records audio via MediaRecorder, transcribes with Deepgram's speech-to-text API, and uses Claude to detect filler words, false starts, and pacing β returning an annotated transcript and fluency scorecard.
