What I'm looking for

I'm open to new graduate software engineering, machine learning, data, and security roles across the US where I can build and improve real systems end to end.

I built Playstat, a sports analytics platform with a FastAPI/PostgreSQL backend, Next.js dashboard, and nightly ingestion from six leagues across four APIs. I retired an XGBoost model after backtesting showed it underperformed market baselines, then began rebuilding on better data.

At the University of Dayton Research Institute, I reduced quantum-simulation runtime by about 90%, from roughly 48 hours to 5, using vectorization, GPU acceleration, and parallelization. I've also built Budgerr, a budgeting app with Plaid integration, shared FastAPI services, Docker Compose, and GitHub Actions, while completing Computer Science coursework in deep learning, software engineering, algorithms, operating systems, network security, and cyber defense.
