Projects

A public reconstruction and expansion of an architecture I built during an AWS Support Engineering internship. S3 uploads invoke a Python Lambda that reads object metadata, creates a deterministic record ID, and writes to DynamoDB with duplicate-safe conditional logic. The SAM stack adds retries, an encrypted SQS failure destination, CloudWatch alarms, and CI-backed tests.

A React frontend with an Express backend, built as a Full Sail University course project. Frontend on GitHub Pages, backend on Google Cloud Run (free tier). Forums are mock-backed by default and persist when MongoDB is configured. 100+ commits, Docker support, full docs.

An embeddable AI chat widget that recruiters can use to ask about my projects, skills, and background. Builds grounded answers from a synced GitHub knowledge base first, then routes open-ended questions through free LLM providers with automatic failover. 246 commits, 474+ tests, deployed on GitHub Pages.

A Next.js 16 static export that fetches PokéAPI data at build time and prerenders 151 detail pages. Client-side search and filtering with React context providers. Tailwind CSS v4 + NextUI. Deployed to GitHub Pages via GitHub Actions.

Submitted 10 PRs to CIRISNode (the CIRIS Ethics Engine backend, written in Python). 7 were merged. Work included implementing JWT authentication, building benchmark/DID/WA API routes, creating a deferral system, and refactoring the API route structure. Not just docs — real backend code.

A local-first, voice-enabled conversational AI assistant. Listens with faster-whisper, thinks with a local Ollama LLM, remembers with RAG over SQLite, and speaks with Coqui TTS. No cloud API keys, no telemetry. FastAPI WebSocket server, Python CLI, React web UI, Docker support.

A WebGPU learning lab built with Next.js, TypeScript, WGSL, and Bun. Two canonical demos (hello triangle and textured cube) with source-first exploration and code-to-render correlation. Originally forked from leaf-js but completely rewritten — no shared code with the original.

An interactive Learning Management System for teaching secrets management to developers. Structured curriculum with modules and lessons, hands-on terminal-based labs, quizzes after each lesson, verifiable certificates, and role-based dashboards (student, instructor, admin). Built with Next.js 16, HeroUI, TypeScript.

An advanced calculator suite with two versions: the original React 18 app with Jest and Selenium tests, and a Next.js 16 rebuild with TypeScript, Bun, NextUI, Tailwind, and Framer Motion. Includes math tools, string manipulation, regex analysis, and credit card validation.

A static Next.js 14 soundboard built with Bun, NextUI, and Tailwind. Audio ships as bundled MP3s in public/audio so it works offline. Favorites and local analytics persist in localStorage. Optional Pexels photo enrichment for dev. Deployed to GitHub Pages.

A small Zig project that reads Wavefront OBJ files, optionally reads MTL material files, and converts them to an optimized binary format with verification tools. Built to learn Zig's explicit memory management and binary-safe parsing. Honest note: this is a very small project — 2 commits, 21KB of Zig code, no GitHub Pages deployment.
