computer science student & software developer
I build scientific software, developer tools, and agentic systems across neuroscience data analysis and the POST Python ecosystem.
I'm a computer science junior at Brigham Young University based in Provo, Utah. I focus on scientific software, developer tooling, and practical systems built with Python, Java, and TypeScript.
Currently, I work as a Product Intern at OpenTeams on agentic and open-source products and as a Data Analysis Developer in a BYU neuroscience lab, where I lead work on reproducible analysis pipelines, testing, architecture, and documentation.
Contribute to agentic product development, QA, and documentation; shipped merged fixes to an agentic desktop app, built statistical kernels for the POST Python ecosystem, and worked across ABI compatibility and open-source workflows.
Lead development of Python pipelines for terabytes of calcium-imaging and EEG video data, collaborating with eight research assistants while adding CI/CD, end-to-end tests, object-oriented architecture, documentation, and release preparation.
Taught Python, recursion, object-oriented programming, and testing; mentored more than 100 students and provided actionable quality, efficiency, and style feedback on more than 200 projects.
Engineered a multiplayer Java chess platform with HTTP and WebSocket networking, a shared rules engine, secure user authentication, concurrent game sessions, and SQL-backed persistence.
Built a relational database engine that parses complex queries, evaluates joins, unions, and projections, optimizes set operations on large tuples, and orders rule evaluation through dependency-graph analysis.
