About Me
I'm a Computer Science student at the University of South Carolina with a focus on robotics, extended reality, and applied software engineering. I work at the Center for Industry Solutions (C4iS), where I bridge academic research with real-world technology challenges, including programming Boston Dynamics' Spot robot and integrating autonomous systems into university facilities operations.
Outside of C4iS, I serve as a Project Manager at Kappa Theta Pi, leading technical teams that build IT and web solutions for nonprofit clients. I'm also involved in K-12 outreach, bringing emerging technologies like VR and robotics into classrooms to inspire the next generation of engineers.

Projects
SC-Economics Donation Portal
donate.sceconomics.orgPayment integration for a live nonprofit donation platform. Supports one-time and recurring Stripe flows, with a lot of work under the hood to keep the checkout experience reliable and the donation funnel clean.
A music app with user accounts, playlists, and social features. Built the security side of the project, including authentication, hashing, encryption, and 2FA to help keep user accounts and data protected.
Robot Control Interface
In ProgressA tuning interface for the Gamecock Robotics team that made PID configuration actually usable. Instead of editing code every time, configs can be adjusted and saved through a UI backed by JSON storage tied to PROS and the VEX V5 Brain.
