LOOT DROPS: PROJECTS
Price–time priority limit order book and matching engine sustaining 15M+ ops/sec at 48ns median (210ns p99), via flat-array price levels, occupancy bitmaps, and pooled allocation on the hot path. The Nasdaq ITCH 5.0 feed handler replays 3M+ msgs/sec over a lock-free SPSC pipeline.
C++20 • CMake
INSPECT ON GITHUBDental staffing marketplace for the Denver metro. Offices post temp shifts, verified pros get them by SMS in cascading waves, and the first to accept wins, a race resolved with a Redis lock and tested under concurrency. Stripe Connect payouts, geofenced timesheets, and reliability scoring that decays on a 90-day half-life.
FastAPI • Postgres • Redis • React • TypeScript • Stripe Connect • private repo
Rust + Python pipeline processing 500K+ NOAA records into PostgreSQL; calibrated probability forecasts (0.079 Brier) with Bayesian inference and Monte Carlo risk modeling for prediction-market contracts.
Rust • Python • NumPy • pandas • PostgreSQL
INSPECT ON GITHUBServer-authoritative rewards backend. Every coin is written by the server into an append-only Postgres ledger, and redemptions deduct atomically into a review queue before any real money moves. Signature-verified ad, offerwall and payment webhooks; tests prove no double-credit and no negative balance under concurrent load.
FastAPI • SQLAlchemy • Postgres • Redis • Docker
INSPECT ON GITHUBProduction app on AWS App Runner with automated CI/CD; an RL / Monte Carlo tree search engine computes expected-value-optimal decisions.
Python • Flask • JavaScript • AWS
PLAY IT LIVE INSPECT ON GITHUBMalnutrition screening app for field workers in Afghanistan, built with Gravity AI as my senior capstone, a production tool used outside the classroom. Ships with a React supervisor dashboard for reviewing screening results.

CHARACTER SELECT
I work on real-time transaction monitoring at Visa and I'm building Cronys, an AI agent governance platform we raised $25K for. Before that: satellite ground stations at Vantor, research data at CUChange, BI at ReportsNow. CU Boulder '26, CS with math and biochem minors. Distributed systems and data pipelines are my thing.
