Full Stack Developer • Backend / Frontend • Cybersecurity • AI/ML
📍 Ann Arbor, United States (EST) • 🧠 Always learning • 🎵 I make music

• Full stack developer focused on building clean, practical products with strong fundamentals.
• Interested in security-minded engineering and AI/ML systems (the kind that actually ship).
• I like fast feedback loops: ship → measure → refine.

• Marketplace project (full-stack build)
• AI/ML project for Tarkov (data + automation + experimentation)
• Studying for CompTIA (Security+ SY0-701)

• Clarity first: define the goal, constraints, and acceptance criteria.
• Small iterations: ship the smallest useful version, then refine.
• Security mindset: least privilege, safe defaults, validate inputs, log the right things.
• Maintainable code: predictable structure, readable naming, and tests where they matter.
• Performance-aware: avoid over-engineering, but measure bottlenecks when it counts.

When I’m not coding, I’m producing EDM and DJing. I love building high-energy tracks, experimenting with sound design, and putting together mixes that keep momentum from start to finish. A lot of my creative workflow overlaps with how I build software: iterate fast, polish details, and ship consistently.
