I build full-stack web applications and production software features.

I'm building production software at SPIE, shipping 20+ fixes and features each month for spie.org, used by nearly 264,000 constituents across 166 countries.

I modernize legacy ASP.NET MVC pages with reusable TypeScript and React components, investigate issues across controllers, service layers, and CRM queries, and achieved over 95% first-submission QA pass rates.

As the sole developer for Dementia Support Northwest, I improved a website used by 100+ weekly users and automated workflows that saved roughly 10 staff hours per week. I also tutor Java, Python, algorithms, data structures, and mathematics, supporting 160+ students across roughly 300 sessions.

My projects include an AI-powered Google Slides speaker-notes generator that reduced writing time by at least 90%, and a real-time WebGL Gaussian Splatting viewer that renders a 341,294-splat scene in the browser.
