Taught myself to build — quant trading system, student hedge fund, AI startup. All from scratch.
"Give me something new and I'll figure it out."
I'm the first in my family to go to college. I didn't come in with a network or a playbook — just a willingness to pick things up fast and get to work. A quant trading system, a student hedge fund, an AI startup — none of it was something I had experience with before I started. That's kind of the point.
A full quantitative trading system built from scratch using a 7-state Hidden Markov Model to classify live market conditions — bull, bear, crash, and volatile regimes. An 8-condition voting engine generates BUY / STAY OUT signals with a complete backtesting engine, risk management rules, and live portfolio dashboard.
Custom AI assistant built on Claude's API and Model Context Protocol (MCP) — capable of autonomous tasks, outreach workflows, and external tool integrations. Built for real daily use, not a demo.
Founding an AI solutions company targeting small businesses in Lafayette, IN — building tools to automate outreach, customer engagement, and operations for businesses priced out of enterprise software.
Built this portfolio end-to-end — Flask backend, Claude Haiku powering a live chat assistant that knows my full resume and can answer questions in real time. Deployed on Render.
Built an AI study assistant tailored specifically to MGMT 187 — course content, concepts, and structure baked in so it actually helps instead of just answering generically. Built for real use, not a submission.
Internships, collabs, or interesting problems — open to all of it.
