At work, I'm part of the Texas State University Libraries Systems Team. I build full-stack features, write unit and integration tests, set up CI/CD pipelines to university RHEL servers, and add observability metrics in a real production environment.

Outside of work, I focus on inference architectures and backend. Right now I'm drawn to secure inference specifically.

A clinical AI screening tool for diabetic retinopathy: A leading cause of preventable blindness that often shows no symptoms until too late.

• Trained ResNet-50 via transfer learning to classify retinal fundus images across 5 severity grades
• End-to-end microservice stack: React → Node.js → FastAPI → PostgreSQL, containerized with Docker
• Built with a personal reason: diabetes runs in my family

Production asset management system used by the university libraries team. I'm the primary developer on V2.

• Rebuilt frontend in Next.js (TypeScript); migrated from a Dockerized PostgreSQL container to the university's centralized Database.
• Deployed to the university's secure internal RHEL server through GitHub Actions CI/CD, load-balanced with NGINX, and secured with Argon2 + pepper password hashing
• Co-Designed and built a reusable component library with Storybook — includes Calendar (multi-day event segments, row-overflow expansion), SideNavigation and Custom Content Display Cards.
• Created custom error pages from scratch (404, 500, 502, 504) with responsive layouts — live across Library systems.
• Built an inventory management dashboard with editable MUI DataGrid, dynamic API-driven dropdowns, debounced search, and async row-update persistence
• Implemented cookie-based JWT auth flow with login guards, session management, and centralized API service layer
• Component testing with Vitest + Playwright; visual/interaction testing via Storybook
• V1 live and in use · V2 actively in development

Exploring

• Spent ~2 years as a research coach at the university. Helping students find what they need taught me that clear communication is its own kind of skill.
• Former middle school math tutor. Engineering problems are usually easier (usually).
• I go back to DSA and first principles often. Understanding code matters more than shipping fast — though both matter.
