Curiosity.

Curiosity

From a young age I was tough to handle — always exploring, always restless.

Even making my way into certain parts of the house where I shouldn't have been.

Adventure.

Adventure

With every new opportunity, I dove right in.

Pushing the limits, finding new ones, and pushing those.

Impact.

Impact

Making a positive impact everywhere I go.

Going so far as to rhyme a three-minute valedictorian speech — so it wasn't just another ceremony, but a memorable experience.

Career

I've brought those values everywhere I've gone.

Software Engineering Intern

Each stop sharpened the instinct to build.

Projects

And those same values push me outside of work — taking on personal projects, building at the forefront of hardware and software, learning whatever it takes to solve the problem in front of me.

Clawtan

Openclaw · Benchmarks

Clawtan

AI agents are becoming their own entities — capable of buying, selling, and interacting with the world — but there was no real way to benchmark them against each other or a human. So I built the environment to do it. Clawtan, a play on Catan, highlights a player's ability to plan, optimize resources, and bargain with other players, ultimately navigating a tough environment.

Invision

Capstone · Hardware

Invision

Architects, structural engineers, contractors, and inspectors are all limited by residential building documentation that rarely exists — forced to make assumptions that prove wrong, adding to costs and timelines. So I built Invision, a 3D wall scanner that fuses a microwave antenna array with time-of-flight sensors to map studs, pipes, and wiring through drywall. Won the Inventure Prize Golden Ticket at Georgia Tech.

Luminate

AI · Photo Editor

Luminate

LLMs can't edit photos properly — they hallucinate details and make images look like stock. So I built a harness for them to edit photos in an agentic manner, iterating on their work using the same tools a person would. Luminate is an open-source React component that others can incorporate into their project to keep a human in the loop while letting AI take the reins.

And that brings me to what I'm working on now.

Spinna.

Now
Spinna

The secondary watch market is a $25B industry running on spreadsheets, manual listings, and WhatsApp groups. I'm building an AI operating system that replaces all of it — dealers upload photos, AI identifies the watch, pulls market data, and cross-lists automatically. The end goal is a system that manages a dealer's entire inventory autonomously.
