About Me

I'm a builder who ships end-to-end systems. I've delivered production mobile apps, AI features, and industrial automation systems—from React Native apps to PLC programming and SCADA dashboards.

I blend software engineering with real-world systems thinking. Whether it's integrating OpenAI into a caregiver support app or configuring PLCs for a manufacturing line, I focus on solving real problems with working systems.

Right now, I'm building WeatherAlert AI—an AI-powered SMS system that helps local service businesses capitalize on weather-triggered demand.
