~$ whoami
Full-stack developer who ships production apps — real auth, dashboards, and AI.
I left RIT to build full-time and shipped a portfolio of live sites solo — authenticated member platforms, admin dashboards, a custom GPT + RAG assistant, and a network of AI-powered niche sites. Strong CS fundamentals behind every build. Open to full-time developer roles, in Rochester or remote.
Building with:
portfolio navigation (not a real shell)
# Portfolio navigation — not a real shell.
# Type a command or press Tab. Try `ls`, `help`, `hire`.

How I build
This spring I left RIT to build full-time. Since then I’ve shipped a portfolio of live production sites solo — a members-only platform with authentication, three-tier RBAC, and an admin panel; a business advisory site with a custom GPT + RAG assistant; a garage-door lead-gen site; and a network of Rochester niche sites with tuned AI bots.
I own the full loop: scope the work, design the UI, write the code, integrate APIs and AI, deploy on Vercel, and iterate. Behind it are CS fundamentals from Orange Coast College (4.0 GPA) — data structures, discrete math, and Python/Java/C++/C# — plus a personal multi-model AI pipeline (Claude Code, OpenAI, MCPs, n8n) that lets me ship production quality fast.

Building in the open
I build and ship constantly. Most client work lives in private repos — the public side (this portfolio, experiments, and tooling) is on GitHub, and I’m happy to walk through any private repo on request.
