Profile

An engineer with a practical, end-to-end perspective.

I think across the interface, the service layer, the data model, and the constraints that matter in a finished product.

My work spans mobile applications, backend services, web products, database integration, and cloud-oriented development.

I approach each layer as part of one product: understand the problem, build the right boundaries, and verify that the finished experience works well.

Flagship project

TraderMindAI

TraderMindAI is the clearest example of the work I’m building right now: a mobile-first trading journal and decision-support concept built with SwiftUI, Firebase, and a focus on clear product thinking.

Active development

A trading journal and decision-support concept I’m building through a series of practical product iterations.

A SwiftUI and Firebase-based trading journal and decision-support concept I’m actively developing while I refine the product experience.

What it covers

Record and organize trades through a structured journal experience.
Reflect on decision-making patterns rather than relying on scattered notes alone.
Explore AI-assisted ideas and simulated-market concepts as part of a broader product flow.
Build with SwiftUI, Firebase, and a structure I’m refining as the app grows.

Graduated Spring2025

Georgia State University – Robinson College of Business

Client-Sponsored Web Development Project

2024–2025

I contributed to a client-sponsored web development project that required stakeholder communication, requirements gathering, planning, collaboration, and iterative development.

I worked with faculty and project stakeholders to gather requirements and present progress clearly
I used Figma and Webflow to support planning, design iteration, and implementation decisions
I helped refine the project through feedback, collaboration, and regular progress updates

Additional Experience

Independent software development and portfolio projects

2024–2025

I built and iterated on software projects focused on mobile development, backend services, APIs, and practical product workflows.

I developed TraderMindAI as a SwiftUI and Firebase-based mobile app concept
I built backend and API-focused work around transaction categorization and service-oriented design
I continued strengthening my skills through full-stack, mobile, and cloud-oriented project work

About me

A grounded builder who enjoys understanding how interfaces, services, databases, and cloud systems fit together.

I am a Georgia State University graduate who became interested in software by building practical projects that connected user needs with real technical implementation.

I continue to strengthen my fundamentals in Java, Python, Swift, backend development, and cloud technologies while building portfolio work that solves clear problems.

Next opportunity

Ready to contribute as an entry-level engineer and keep learning quickly.

I’m currently open to entry-level software engineering, application development, mobile development, backend, and technology-focused opportunities.
