About Me

I’m an iOS-first engineer with an electrical engineering background, which means I love pairing polished SwiftUI interfaces with rock-solid systems thinking. I’ve shipped multiple iOS apps to the App Store, run my own beta programs, and nerd out over everything from App Store screenshots to launch-day analytics.

I specialize at the intersection of iOS development, backend logic, and system design.

My stack:

  • SwiftUI / UIKit
  • Swift Testing
  • Combine / async-await
  • Core Bluetooth / Core Motion
  • Vision Framework
  • Python
  • Java
  • Linux / Bash
  • API Design
  • Kubernetes

Other Projects

Curated snapshots of experiments and collaborations I’m proud of.

Senior Design Project

Led a four-person team to design a modular drone for mock disaster response. I owned the Raspberry Pi + Pixhawk stack, writing Python scripts that combined pre-recorded flight plans with object detection and geo-fencing so the drone could safely fly indoor demos. The prototype executed 15-minute autonomous runs and streamed telemetry for our sponsors to review.

  • Bash
  • Raspberry Pi
  • Pixhawk

This Website : )

Designed and coded this site, then deployed it on my Raspberry Pi cluster using NGINX, Docker, and dynamic DNS.

  • JavaScript
  • Bash

Posture Pod (Discontinued)

Explored the capabilities of AirPods sensors by building an unpublished iOS app that tracks my posture while coding. Used Core Motion data to monitor head tilt and developed a posture scoring system to help prevent long term back and neck issues. Built it to understand what real time AirPods data could enable for future wellness and productivity tools.
