About Me
I am a React and TypeScript focused full-stack engineer, with strong experience building backends in NestJS and FastAPI. Most of my work sits at the intersection of clean UI and heavy data, where reliability matters as much as design.
I built TickerStats, an AI-powered equity research platform that compares tickers, runs valuation models, generates pitch decks with structured outputs, and exports to PPTX, PDF, and Excel. The platform is backed by FastAPI with PostgreSQL, caching, and schema validation to keep outputs consistent. I also built GapWalk, a schedule-aware micro-walking app that finds free gaps, schedules local notifications, and tracks walks with on-device storage.
Currently developing an end-to-end mobile app with an integrated loyalty rewards system for a Midwest gas station chain. I enjoy working end to end across frontend architecture and UX polish, APIs and data pipelines, and deployment, using tools like FastAPI and NestJS when a project needs a solid backend.
Resume Highlights
- Founder of TickerStats, an AI-powered equity research SaaS that compares up to 100 tickers, runs DCF valuation, generates pitch decks with structured LLM outputs, and exports to PPTX/PDF/XLSX/CSV.
- Built production-style full-stack apps with React + TypeScript plus FastAPI and NestJS, focusing on dashboard workflows, performance, and maintainable architecture.
- Implemented core SaaS infrastructure: Auth0 authentication, Stripe subscriptions, tier enforcement via JWT claims, and per-user usage tracking in PostgreSQL.
- Led a TruScholar research project (EcoWatch) end to end: collected and cleaned imagery data, trained a YOLOv8 model, and shipped an inference app supporting image/video/webcam detection with downloadable results.
- Vice President, Alumni Relations, Bulldog Student Investment Fund: led alumni outreach and coordinated event communications to support engagement.
