Systems Developer

Building systems at the intersection of security, intelligence, and everyday utility.
About Me
I'm a software developer with an unconventional background. A US Army veteran of 7 years, I graduated from the University of Maryland with an Associate's in General Education in 2020, and will graduate from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach with a degree in Homeland Security & Intelligence in 2026. That foundation in security, discipline, and intelligence analysis shapes how I approach building software.
My process is simple: I take an idea and obsess over it until it becomes a product. Whether it's making academic writing painless with Aquila, visualizing global intelligence with Globanix, or building OSINT tools at Osintium—every project starts with a problem I couldn't stop thinking about.
I specialize in the Apple ecosystem—Swift, SwiftUI, and building native experiences that feel right at home on macOS and iOS. I care deeply about craft, polish, and making complex things feel effortless.
