Hi there! I'm a developer who loves crafting clean, thoughtful web experiences. I enjoy working across the stack, but I'm especially drawn to the intersection of design and engineering.

When I'm not coding, you'll find me reading, experimenting with new tools, or exploring ideas that sit at the edge of what I know.

This site is my little corner of the internet — a place to share projects, writing, and whatever else I'm curious about.

Timeline

  1. ~2019

    Built a mini Arduino project with my brother-in-law Josh Greaves — my first taste of programming and the joy of creating something interactive that others could use.

  2. 2021

    Arrived at BYU as a freshman studying Computer Science. Took my first CS class with Dr. Nancy Fulda, learning C++, and fell in love with programming and debugging (except memory leaks).

  3. 2022–2024

    Served a two-year mission in Vietnam. Stepped away from coding, but returned more interested — especially with the rise of large language models.

  4. Fall 2024

    Back at BYU. Started learning React via an online course by Mosh, explored HTML and CSS, and dove into back-end programming as I entered my sophomore year.

  5. Winter 2024

    Applied for a web dev role at BYU's College of Humanities — wore a tie, built a personal site, practiced my pitch. Got rejected. It pushed me to find better opportunities on my own.

  6. Sept. 2024

    Met Jake Gunter and became lead web developer for Howard Lewis & Peterson, Gunter Injury Law, and Provo Criminal Defense. Learned PHP for real-world apps, SEO, and performance optimization.

  7. 2024–2025

    Sophomore year at BYU. Took CS235 and CS240 (Software Design), deepening my skills in Java and TypeScript.

  8. Summer 2025

    Interned at BLERP, a Twitch-associated company. Worked with GraphQL and JavaScript, building data pipelines that affected real streamers. Learned a ton from Aaron Hsu and Derek Omori.

  9. Fall 2025

    Machine learning internship at Martian in San Francisco. Helped build data pipelines replicating popular ML benchmarks (HumanEval, MBPP, ARC-AGI). Learned from engineers from Google DeepMind, Meta, Snorkel, Telcoin, and UPenn.

  10. Winter 2025–Present

    Junior year at BYU. Became a research assistant in Dr. David Wingate's PCCL lab, currently working on a WhatsApp LLM integration and a project called EVO.
