Profile
Driven and resourceful Software Engineer with a non-traditional path, honed by years in high-pressure service roles.
Exceptional self-sufficiency and rapid learning ability allow quick acquisition of technical skills, evidenced by diverse personal projects.
Committed to leveraging a proactive work ethic and practical expertise in automation, system design, and API development to drive impactful results.
Command-Line Encryption Tool
Java, Gradle, Picocli
A Unix-like tool that takes one or more files as input and encrypts (or decrypts) them using AES encryption.
Key challenges faced include securely interacting with the filesystem, designing a robust and modular application, and secret key storage. See demo below.
Crime Data API
Python, FastAPI, Geopy
An API that leverages public data made available by the City of Austin to return a list of crime reports filed within a given radius of a user-supplied address.
Key challenges faced were filtering by classification and optimizing network calls to query the dataset.
I have refrained from publishing a demo due to the nature of the data being processed.
Personal Utilities
Bash
I love to write small little tools that make my life just that much easier.
This is a demo of one that I wrote to help me manage impromptu class activities.
Neovim Config
Lua
I enjoy editing with Neovim (unless I'm writing C#).
I've put together a configuration that feels pretty good for now, which you can check out if you'd like.
Other Stuff
I also make music, a small selection of which you can find on SoundCloud.
