I'm a Computer Science senior at Oregon State University (3.82 GPA, graduating June 2026) with hands-on experience shipping software across the full stack — from React frontends and Node/Express APIs to Android apps, raw-socket networking tools, and cloud backend systems.
Currently working as a paid Software Engineering Evaluator (Contract) — fixing bugs in open-source codebases, writing regression tests, and debugging containerized CI environments.
- 🔭 Currently working on: Algorithmic Trading Platform (Senior Capstone) + contract SWE work via AI Handshake
- 🌱 Deepening: Docker, mypy/static typing, pytest, PHPUnit
- 💼 Seeking: Full-time SWE roles starting June 2026
- 📍 Based in Bend, OR
- ⚡ Background in Physics (A.A., COCC) — I think about problems differently because of it

Kotlin · Jetpack Compose · MVVM · StateFlow · Android SDK
GPS-based treasure hunt app with real geofence verification using the haversine formula (accurate to <10m). Built with MVVM + StateFlow for reactive, lifecycle-safe UI. Handles runtime permissions, GPS signal loss, and edge cases gracefully.
React · Node.js · Express · MongoDB · Cloudflare · Render
Live production web app — React SPA frontend, Node/Express REST API, MongoDB Atlas database. Zero-downtime CI/CD via Render + Cloudflare CDN. Includes validated contact forms, rate limiting, and spam protection. Running live at chansesyres.com.
Python · Raw Sockets · ICMP · RFC-792 · TCP/IP
Built from scratch using raw sockets — manually constructs RFC-792 ICMP Echo Request packets, computes checksums bit-by-bit, parses TTL-exceeded replies, and reconstructs full hop-by-hop network paths. Zero external dependencies.
Node.js · Express · MySQL · Relational Schema Design
Full-stack CRUD application with a normalized MySQL schema (6 entities, junction tables, cascading foreign keys). Server-rendered views and async AJAX workflows without page reloads.
C · POSIX Threads · Concurrent Programming
Low-level systems project using POSIX threading, mutexes, and shared memory to coordinate concurrent robot processes. Demonstrates OS-level concurrency concepts.
