I got my reps in through internships and school — shipping real features on deadlines, not just tutorial todos. Lately I'm spending more time on side projects and GitHub; the stats and playlists below are just the stuff I actually touch day to day.

What I shipped

  • •Built and deployed a conversational AI model in Python with Google Gemini API, integrated with user email accounts to generate context-aware, multi-turn replies, enabling automated handling of hundreds of daily messages.
  • •Built a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system in Python using Google Generative AI for embeddings, ChromaDB for vector storage, and LangChain for orchestration - reducing response time from 3 minutes to 1 minute and increasing user satisfaction by 30%.
  • •Engineered RESTful API endpoints using Node.js, backed by a Google MySQL database, to serve summary data on email activity - including sender info, location insights, common inquiries, and flagged messages the AI lacked context to answer - giving users visibility and control over their communication flow.

Selected Works

A collection of things I've built, ranging from local business marketing sites to hardware-integrated python scripts.

State Smog 2
HTML, CSS

State Smog 2

Marketing site for a real smog-check shop in LA: responsive layout, embedded map, and straight-to-the-point service + contact info. Pure HTML/CSS — sometimes that's exactly enough.

Live Site
DanteDrop
PHP

DanteDrop

A small PHP file-sharing app I called DanteDrop: login, uploads, logout — nothing fancy, but it works end-to-end and was a good sandbox for auth and file handling.

LifeQR
PHP

LifeQR

LifeQR (repo: medicalQR) is a lightweight app for tracking patient info in a clinic-style workflow — built to be simpler than wrestling a giant EHR for quick demos.

HTML

Task Manager

Exactly what it sounds like: a task list in the browser. My very first project — ugly in places, but it still makes me smile when I scroll GitHub.

Python

School Attendance (QR + Pi)

Generate QR codes, email them to students, then scan at the door with a Raspberry Pi and roll attendance into a spreadsheet — coursework meets hardware store energy.
