At Lehigh Mountain Quants, I lead a five-student team producing weekly stock rankings. I built our Python data pipeline and tested the rankings on more than five years of historical data to verify consistency.

As a Product Fellow with Lehigh Product Society, I researched Windows user pain points for a Microsoft brief and designed an “Experience Selector” with a PRD targeting higher setup completion and fewer app switches. I pitched it to a Director of Product at Microsoft, whose feedback praised the quantified success criteria.

For my Relational Banking Database project, I designed a 21-table PostgreSQL database with data-integrity rules. I benchmarked queries across 800,000 records and added an index that reduced a core lookup from 41.0 ms to 4.8 ms, then built a Java client over JDBC with parameterized statements and rollback handling.

At IPC Philadelphia Church, I lead a two-person team rebuilding the website with JavaScript and Node.js. I’m also a Videography Partner at Garland Street Studios, capturing events for clients and operating multi-camera livestreams.
