I built and launched Rent Porta Johns as a greenfield, mobile-first custom WordPress site. The project includes a reusable component system, scalable service and location architecture, quote flows, analytics, structured data, and conversion-focused UX for more than 100 service locations.

Techip was envisioned as a company that specialized in the sale of various tech products as well as repair for computers and mobile devices. During the program with Techbridge, we were tasked with creating a web application that would speak to our learning with front-end technologies. This was a group project and my contribution was the About Us, Shop, and Support pages.

Pro Bono is a company that aimed to speak to one of the U.N.s 17 sustainable development goals, particularly around peace, justice, and strong institutions. Created in a day as part of a Hackathon, our team created a site that would allow users to receive legal assistance through a forum where lawyers could post advice.

Built with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Bootstrap, this served as my first personal portfolio website showcasing my skills and projects from the TCP program with Techbridge. I am extremely proud of this project as it was a great learning experience and a stepping stone to my current portfolio.

The Bartique Mobile ATL was a site created for a client who needed a mobile-friendly site for their business. The project was built on Squarespace and I was responsible for the design and development of the sites 6 pages. It is no longer live, but I am proud of the work.

PhraseCraze was a project I created to be a fun and engaging "daily" game in the same vein as Wordle. The game used AI to generate challenges that users would create phrases for. Other users could vote on the best phrases in a category from the previous day. I lost interest in the overall concept, but I loved the idea and it was great practice with implementing AI into a project.

Edu Echo is a voice-first education platform designed to help 4th, 5th, and 6th grade students excel in math and language arts. The platform uses real-time voice AI to provide natural conversations with students, and a powerful RAG system to provide instant answers to questions. This was a group project as a submission for the 2024 Winter Innovation Challenge Hackathon hosted by Microsoft in which we won 2nd place!

Tydy is being built as an AI-powered all-in-one planner application. The planner includes common trackers like a to-do list, notes, and financial tracker, but also includes an AI assistant that users can ask questions about their data. I am currently the sole developer and work on this project in my free time.

This work was completed in my role as the AI Software Engineer at Lyris, and all assets shown are part of the publicly available redesign as of 05/06/2025. I was tasked with a full redesign of the site and updated the frameworks to use React, Next.js, Typescript. It also uses Retell.ai and SendGrid as part of its technologies.

A redesign of my portfolio website. I wanted to create a more modern and sleek design that would use the latest technologies and frameworks. I also wanted to add some new features to the website to make it more interactive and informative. This is the site you are currently on.
