Creative coder with a cybersecurity degree, currently training AI models on real code.

I like software that has a pulse: games, a makerspace site, a scheduler a student can actually use. The current work is writing and marking up code so models can learn from it.

01 — Work

Real projects, real time.

Campus software, a course scheduler, the AI training work I do now, a games lab, and four years of CTFs.

01 · Team build · Sept 2023–May 2024

UD Makerspace

I was on the five-person app team that built the University of Delaware Makerspace website in TypeScript, React, CSS, and HTML. It is live for the campus community. Reaching it may require the UD network.

CIS Course Scheduler

A React and TypeScript course planner for laying out semesters and courses from the UD catalog. The app is deployed on GitHub Pages.

  • React
  • TypeScript

AI training work

I build coding projects and annotations that train AI models. The work moves across languages — Python, C, HTML, and others — and the notes are about structure, syntax, and logic.

  • C
  • HTML
  • Code feedback

Games lab

A small set of games I have built: Flappy Bird, Pac-Man, Blackjack, and Space Invaders. This page is a poster for them. Playable builds are not part of v1.

05 · UD Cyber Security Scholars · Sept 2020–May 2024

Secure software & CTF

Four years on the CTF team, working crypto, SQL, web, and forensics. The specialties I keep coming back to are x86 pwning, cryptography, and programming.

02 — About

A coder who likes the hard parts.

I write software, take it apart, and spend a lot of time these days showing models what careful code looks like.

I finished at the University of Delaware Honors College in May 2024: a BS in Computer Science with a cybersecurity concentration, a cybersecurity minor, and a 3.63 GPA. The work I like has a little friction in it. A makerspace site a five-person team can actually ship. A course scheduler that knows the catalog. A CTF problem that does not give up easily. A game that feels right in the hands.

Ocean City, New Jersey is home, Oves Restaurant included. I still like making things that belong to actual people.

If a project needs someone who can ship a page, read a binary, or stay with a function until the logic is honest, that is the note to send.

Experience

  1. Sept 2024–present

    Remote

    Data Annotation

    Builds coding projects and annotations that train AI models across languages, including Python, C, and HTML. The feedback is about structure, syntax, and whether the logic holds.

  2. Sept 2023–May 2024

    University of Delaware

    UD Makerspace App Team

    One of five people who built the makerspace website with TypeScript, React, CSS, and HTML. The site is live at makerspace.udel.edu and may require the UD network.

  3. Sept 2020–May 2024

    University of Delaware

    UD Cyber Security Scholars / CTF Team

    Competed in CTFs across crypto, SQL, web, and forensics. Most of the time went to x86 pwning, cryptography, and programming.
