Studying artificial intelligence at The University of Alabama and building full-stack products end to end: native iOS clients, typed APIs, and the websites in front of them.
Artificial Intelligence student at The University of Alabama, Honors College. Co-founder and CTO of Thrise, lead author of a peer-reviewed IEEE paper on agentic AI, and former CTO at Click and Close, where I built an AI receptionist that has handled 300+ calls.

End to end.
Mobile Development
Native SwiftUI and React Native apps, with the platform pieces most people skip: Watch companions, home-screen widgets, App Store releases under my own LLC.
Backend & APIs
TypeScript services on Express and Next.js, Prisma over PostgreSQL, typed end to end. Auth, payments, uploads and webhooks wired properly.
Web
Fast, responsive sites for real businesses: product configurators, booking flows, and the CRM plumbing behind them.
AI & ML
Custom-trained YOLO vision models, LLM pipelines for prospecting and listing import, a voice agent that books appointments on the call, and a peer-reviewed IEEE paper on agentic AI security.

I build the wholething, not a slice.
I’ve been writing code for more than five years, and the last two shipping products people actually pay for: apps on the App Store, websites for real businesses, and the APIs holding them up.
