About Me.
Driven by a relentless pursuit of excellence, I thrive in the fast-paced world of coding, where innovation meets practical application. From complex programs to captivating digital experiences, I specialize in bringing ideas to life and delivering impactful solutions.
Websites.
Fitness Archives
___________________________________
As a personal project, I created the Fitness Archives. Utilizing Next.js, React, Css, Javascript, Node.js, and MongoDB, I programed and designed a full-stack blog application completely from scratch. Although I don’t intend on running this platform, this project tested my skills in full stack development and ultimately was a great project I could learn from.
Blooming Daisy Belle Labradors
___________________________________
Utilizing WordPress and custom CSS, I designed a premium website for Blooming Daisy Belle Labradors, showcasing their purebred Labs with captivating visuals and seamless navigation.
Personal Portfolio
___________________________________
I crafted and designed a personalized portfolio website to showcase my diverse skills and projects. This project used a mix of WordPress, custom CSS, and Custom Javascript. This platform serves as a digital showcase of my expertise in graphic design, computer science, and more, allowing visitors to explore my work in detail.
Occord
___________________________________
During my internship with Digital Nest, I utilized WordPress and PHP to develop and deliver a high-quality website for OCCORD. I contributed to front-end development and user interface design. OCCORD, founded in 2005, focuses on community organizing, civic participation, and advocacy.

Neural Network From Scratch
___________________________________
As a passion project with an eagerness to understand the inner workings of AI, I built a neural network from scratch in Java using only the core libraries. I manually coded all the core components, including forward propagation, backpropagation, weight updates, and trained the network on the MNIST dataset (black and white pixelated hand drawn digits). The design includes convolutional, max-pooling, and fully connected layers, with the ability to save and reload trained models. To make it interactive, I added a simple UI where users can draw a digit, submit it, and see the network’s prediction.
Career Harvest
___________________________________
Career Harvest is an internal software for Digital Nest that gathers job opportunities from various sources. Developed by a team of six interns including myself, it supports the career services department in helping members find jobs. I played a key role in this project, designing the entire application in Figma, coding much of the front end with React, TypeScript, Sass, and JavaScript, and collaborating on the backend with Node.js, Docker, and Firebase.
Inventory
Management System
___________________________________
For a school project, I customized a Spring Framework application to manage inventory for a retail store. I integrated a Java backend with an HTML front-end, tracked products and parts, ensured inventory validation, and implemented a “Buy Now” button to adjust inventory. I also developed logic for managing multi-pack parts, showcasing my skills in user interfaces and object-oriented programming to meet business needs.
Vacation
Booking System
___________________________________
For a school project, I developed a Spring Framework Java backend to modernize a travel agency’s vacation booking system. I implemented packages for controllers, entities, DAOs, and services, ensuring seamless integration with the Angular frontend. Using MySQL Workbench, I managed and verified the database, while GitLab was used for version control. The app supports booking vacations, excursions, and much more.
Digital Nest Donation Plugin
___________________________________
During my internship with Digital Nest, I designed a donation plugin with another intern, creating three variations based on Digital Nest’s requirements in two days. One of our designs was chosen for use in development. This plugin will potentially be saving Digital Nest up to $100,000 annually by replacing their original plugin, which took a large percentage from received donations.
Tetris Remake
___________________________________
I created a Tetris remake using Javascript, HTML, and CSS as a personal project. This project was driven by my childhood fondness and curiosity to understand its mechanics. This rendition offers classic gameplay with straightforward arrow keys for controls, serving as a simple homage to the original game that brought me joy.
Calculator
___________________________________
I coded a unique calculator using HTML and CSS, infusing my own design flair to make it stand out. Rather than a traditional layout, I added personal touches to enhance its aesthetic appeal while maintaining functionality.
Fully Autonomous Drone
___________________________________
I was part of a team of four students that built a fully autonomous drone, programmed in C++. This project was not only a hands-on exploration of engineering and coding but also where I fell in love with coding, marking the beginning of my journey in technology and innovation.
ARTWORK!
Digitally Drawn Bald Eagle
___________________________________
I drew this bald eagle entirely by hand in Photoshop, using a drawing tablet to bring my idea to life. I focused on getting the details right, like the feathers and the eagle’s sharp gaze, to show the strength and majesty of this bird. This project was a great chance for me to practice my digital art skills and capture the essence of such an iconic creature.
3D Digital Sculpture
___________________________________
This digital sculpture captures a mystical fish-like creature, blending real aquatic features with fantasy. I created it in zBrush, starting with a basic mesh and refining details like scales and fins for realism. I then rendered it and used Photoshop to experiment with textures and brushes, achieving a seamless fusion of nature and imagination.
Hand Drawn Gladiator Hulk
___________________________________
This hand-drawn piece uses pencil shading to add depth and intensity to Marvel’s Gladiator Hulk, highlighting his strong presence. The shading brings out the character’s tough, battle-ready look. This project was a study of light and shadow utilizing only a single sheet of paper and one pencil, to show shape, power, and emotion.
3D Samurai Animation
___________________________________
I created a 3D animation of a samurai using Blender, focusing on exploring the possibilities of 3D space and movement. This project allowed me to dive deep into animating complex actions and expressions, showcasing the capabilities of Blender in bringing dynamic characters to life.
Willie Nelson Spray Painting
___________________________________
This portrait of Willie Nelson, created with spray paint, stands out as a favorite piece from my spray paint art business, encapsulating the distinctive style my work is known for. Utilizing vibrant colors and dynamic textures, this artwork not only captures the essence of the iconic musician but also showcases the unique blend of realism and abstraction that defines my artistic approach.
Hand Drawn Lion
___________________________________
This project features my hand-drawn lion, meticulously crafted on paper using only pencil, showcasing the majestic and powerful essence of the animal. Through delicate pencil strokes and attention to detail, the drawing captures the lion’s intense gaze. I wanted to challenge myself with this project so I set a goal to finish this drawing in less than 24 hours which is a goal I met finishing it in 15 hours.
Digitally Drawn
Self Portrait
