Full-stack software development engineer building research platforms and web applications. Specializing in Django, React, Qt 6, and data science technologies. Passionate about creating scalable solutions that solve real-world problems.
I am a Full Stack Software Development Engineer at the School of Polymer Science & Engineering, where I engineer research platforms using Django, React, and PostgreSQL to automate data analysis for hundreds of polymer samples. As a Computer Science student at The University of Southern Mississippi, I maintain a 4.0 GPA and have been recognized on the President's List for three consecutive semesters.
My work spans full-stack development, desktop application engineering with C++ and Qt 6, and data science visualization. I am passionate about building scalable, user-focused solutions that bridge cutting-edge research with practical software engineering.
