I build full-stack products and developer tools—from the interface and API through data, infrastructure, and deployment.

I'm a computer science student at Brigham Young University and a software developer on the Innovation Team at eAssist Dental Solutions. I like turning recurring annoyances into focused software that respects its users and does one job well.

broll

An MCP content studio for coding agents: generate media with your own keys, then render videos and carousels deterministically. Every post lands in a reviewable outbox and requires confirmation to publish.

More things I've built

• QuizletLocal — import Quizlet sets and study locally, without ads or accounts.
• RetroRacer — a continuous-control racing environment for training agents with Soft Actor-Critic.
• Mini Search Engine — crawl the web, then rank results with BM25 and PageRank and explore the graph visually.

Current focus

Full-stack product development — taking ideas from rough prototype to deployed product. I work across TypeScript, Python, Rust, and Swift, choosing the stack around the problem instead of centering any one framework or platform.
