Projects

Built because I wanted them to exist

PODS

Python · Flask · React · SQL · AWS

Source ↗Walkthrough ↗

A campus platform for organizing short-term, activity-based groups — study, fitness, pickup games. It solves the social friction of getting people in one place. 50+ users, REST APIs with token auth, real-time notifications, zero manual coordination.

Reel

50+: users
$80K: competition

FootSnap

Python · SQL · Pandas · Matplotlib · Tableau

Source ↗

An ETL pipeline processing 10K+ player and match records, cutting data prep time roughly 60% against doing it by hand. ML-assisted performance models and Tableau dashboards surfacing insight across 5+ match metrics.

10K+: records
~60%: prep time cut

Uninutri

React Native · TypeScript · Node · PostgreSQL

A campus nutrition tracker for BU students — logs calories and macros against what's actually being served in the dining halls, rather than making you hunt for a generic database entry that doesn't match the tray in front of you.

Coursework, experiments, and half-finished ideas — machine learning, econometrics, and whatever I was curious about that week.

Elsewhere

Away from the screen

Piano

The closest thing I have to a system clicking into place — structure underneath, room to move on top.

Chess

The same appeal as the analytics work, stripped to its bones: incomplete information, a clock, and no one to blame.

Competition swimming pool with lane ropes and starting blocks

The water and the pitch

I swam competitively, then taught it — a hundred-odd lessons at Asphalt Green. Football is the other one, close enough that I built an analytics platform for it rather than just watching.

Contact

Open to technology and data roles starting 2027.

Always up for a conversation about football analytics, or about what actually happens to a model once someone has to act on it.
