Software Engineer
I build reliable full-stack systems, from legacy enterprise integrations to browser-based tools that run entirely client-side.
About
I'm a software engineer currently looking for my next role. Most recently I worked at Horace Mann Insurance, across legacy ASP.NET Web Forms and modern .NET services, integrating third-party APIs, untangling decade-old code, and shipping internal tools that saved other teams real time. Before that, I supported enterprise systems as a computer lab technician, which taught me to debug first and assume nothing.
Outside of work I write software for fun too, including a browser-based video compressor that runs entirely offline, no upload required. I studied Computer Science at Southeast Missouri State University, where a research capstone on sparse tensor storage formats pulled me deep into low-level data structure design.

Projects
A browser-based video compressor that shrinks clips down to a target file size, entirely client-side, using your GPU's hardware encoder through the WebCodecs API. No install, no upload; the video never leaves your machine. Trim a clip before compressing, queue up multiple files at once, and save the result straight to disk when it's done. Live, with a few quality-of-life fixes still on the way.
Try it live →A Monikers-style party game with a deck that never runs out: every card is a page from Wikipedia's daily most-viewed charts, scored by how highly it ranked. Players join on their phones with a room code while a TV view shows the timer, scoreboard, and join QR code. Falls back to cached cards when Wikipedia is slow or down.
Play it live →A Jackbox-style game built with a friend. Everyone gets the same prompt, finds a YouTube clip on their phone, and trims it to the perfect few seconds. The clips play back anonymously on the big screen, everyone votes, and the funniest clip takes the round.
Play it live →The classic hidden-role game, built with a friend, with phones instead of cards and a TV instead of a human narrator. Roles stay secret on each phone, everyone taps a name at night so nobody can tell who holds a power, and an optional voice narrator reads each phase aloud.
Play it live →Undergraduate capstone research contributing to the HiCOO sparse tensor storage format alongside the ALTO format, implemented in Python. Helped develop the format, coordinated documentation, and produced explanatory animations of how the data structures work.
