Bridging Business Strategy with Engineering Reality.

From idea → prototype → metrics, with a strong bias for experiments over assumptions.

Currently building MVPs in AgriTech and academic platforms while completing a Master’s in Information Systems.

Green Engine

An IoT & Computer Vision platform prototype. In small-scale controlled tests, it demonstrated a ~15% reduction in crop yield variance by integrating hardware sensors with a Python FastAPI backend.
  • Problem:Small growers struggle to monitor micro-environment conditions consistently.
  • My Role:Designed the monitoring workflow and built the sensor → FastAPI → dashboard pipeline.

Collaborative Ecosystem

MVP design for a two-sided academic marketplace to connect researchers with resources. Focused on platform strategy and system design validation.
  • Problem:Fragmented academic resources limit research collaboration.
  • My Role:Designed the MVP architecture and validated the core matching algorithm.

Smart Roofing

Prototype dashboard for industrial roofing risk mitigation. Simulates IoT data streams to flag potential risk areas and suggest maintenance windows in a simulated environment.
  • Problem:Industrial roofing maintenance is reactive and costly.
  • My Role:Created the risk mitigation logic and visualized IoT data streams.

Maverick Aim Rush

Gamified fitness application prototype. Achieved ~50% increase in prototype engagement metrics during internal pilot testing.
  • Problem:Fitness apps suffer from high user churn due to lack of immediate feedback.
  • My Role:Implemented gamification mechanics (streaks, rewards) to boost retention.

My Approach

The "Why" Behind The Code

Product Philosophy

"I believe the best products are born from rigorous hypothesis testing, not boardroom guesses. Data > Opinion."
  • Start from problem framing and constraints.
  • Define success metrics and basic experiment before writing code.

Education

M.S. Info Systems Eng & Management
Harrisburg University

"Where academic rigor meets agile reality. Bridging the gap between theory and execution."

Tech Arsenal

This is the toolkit used across the projects above to turn raw data into decisions.

Strategy: Next.js + FastAPI for fast experiments, SQL/Python for analytics.
