Two-speed swerve drivetrain
Robotics · Mechanical design
A prototype drive platform for FIRST Robotics, with four wheels that can each be driven and steered independently. A hands-on project in turning a mechanical design into a working machine.

What I’m working on
Book Jersey Shore
I built Book Jersey Shore from the ground up: a peer-to-peer Jersey Shore rental platform that helps people find vacation rentals and connect directly with hosts. The work includes public listings and search, messaging, rental agreements, e-signing, payment records, check-in details, and tools for keeping the details of a stay organized.
The product is built with Expo/React Native, an Astro public site, an Express and TypeScript API, Postgres/PostGIS, Ory Kratos, and MinIO. It is designed around direct booking, host control, and clear agreements rather than forcing every rental through one payment or marketplace model.

Tools for navigating misleading information
Booz Allen Hamilton / Penn State · Capstone project
A browser extension designed to help people identify misleading information online. The project explored how software could give readers more context about what they encounter on the web.
Deep learning for price prediction
Stanford CS 230 · Deep learning project
A model that combines financial data measured over different time intervals to study price prediction. The work used parallel recurrent neural networks to look for patterns across those timescales.
Financial networks and cascading failures
Network research
An analysis of how financial obligations connect institutions, and how the shape of those connections affects the spread of failures through a network.
What can insider transactions tell us about stock returns?
Penn State · Honors thesis
My thesis investigated whether adding corporate insiders’ reported stock purchases and sales improved machine-learning predictions of U.S. stock returns.
