I'm a computer science student at the University of Virginia who likes building software that people actually use. Most of my projects start from a real problem I ran into, whether that was not knowing what was for dinner at the dining hall or wanting a clearer picture of my grades, and grew into a full app or tool that solves it end to end. I care about code that holds up: tested, readable, and honest about what it does.
I'm building two things right now. Culprit is an AI incident-response layer that helps teams work out what actually caused a production incident. Ember is a single-habit iOS app that asks you to keep one fire lit for fourteen days by holding the flame each day you follow through. It's built in SwiftUI with a live particle-flame animation, an Apple Watch companion, and an optional Apple Health integration that can stoke the fire for you. Both are private for now, but I'm always happy to talk about either one.
proofgate is a GitHub Action that makes the author of a pull request prove their tests really pass. It runs the suite, catches the common ways people game tests such as deleting them, weakening assertions, or skipping them, and posts one clear verdict on the PR.
RememberMe is an assistive memory aid for people living with dementia. It recognizes faces through a camera in real time and shows who the person is, and it can turn a spoken conversation into saved memories using a language model.
Hoos Hungry is a dining app for UVA students. I built the Django backend that scrapes the dining hall menus and nutrition and serves them over an API, along with the React frontend and an assistant that answers questions about the menu.
clara gives you feedback on a presentation. You record yourself talking over your slides and it reports per-slide speaking telemetry, like pace, filler words, and pauses, next to an AI coach that suggests improvements.
GeneSIS is a Flutter gradebook app that connects to StudentVUE, computes current and cumulative GPA, and shows grade trends. I also wrote the studentvue Dart library that powers it.
theCourseForum is UVA's course-review platform. I'm on the dev team, where I built the Q&A dashboard feature (course search, instructor endpoints, voting, and integration tests) together with two other contributors.
There is more on my repositories tab, including a crossword solver built around backtracking search and a couple of computer vision projects.
Python, TypeScript, Dart, and Swift most often. Django, FastAPI, and Flask on the backend, React and Flutter on the frontend, and SwiftUI for native iOS and watchOS. Comfortable with Postgres, Docker, and the usual testing and CI setup.
