About
Early-career software engineer with production-quality personal projects and open-source contributions in Rust, Python/TypeScript, and modern web stacks. I build end-to-end systems: from GPU-accelerated computer vision (Frigate/YOLOX+TensorRT) and homelab orchestration (Docker/CI, OPNsense, Proxmox/KVM) to AI-assisted document classification and polished Next.js/Astro websites. I value strong testing, CI/CD, and measurable impact.

Experience
masterformat.ai — Creator
AI website/agent for CSI MasterFormat coding
2025–Present
- Ingests work receipts and assigns CSI MasterFormat division/section with confidence scores.
- End-to-end pipeline: upload → OCR/text parsing → entity extraction → code suggestion → human-in-the-loop review/export (CSV/JSON).
- Audit trail, error handling, admin dashboard; designed for future webhook/API integration with accounting tools.
Dice Image Generator — Creator
Rust image tooling for procedural dice assets
2025
- Uses
image,imageproc, andab_glyphto render faces and overlay reference text into RGBA PNGs. - Type-safe model (
DiceSidesenum,Dicestruct) and compositing utilities for batch generation. - Embedded DejaVuSans-Bold; layout helpers to annotate outputs with dimensions/totals for reproducibility.
Tauri — Open-Source Contributor
Linux packaging (Snap) for Rust desktop framework
Mar 2023–Present
- Proposed first-class Snap packaging support for the Tauri CLI, broadening Linux distribution options.
- Implemented packaging config generation and documented constraints; collaborated with maintainers on review/roadmap.
- PRs: tauri#6532 • fork PR #3
Home-Automation Security Stack — Creator
Frigate + Home Assistant on VLAN-segmented homelab
2023–Present
- GPU-accelerated detection (YOLOX + TensorRT) on NVIDIA; ~60% lower inference latency, CPU 85% → 30%.
- Dockerized services w/ health checks; MQTT events drive HA automations; CI runs lint/tests on PRs.
- Deployed behind OPNsense with VLAN isolation for least-privilege access.
Media Server Pipeline — Maintainer
Plex/Jellyfin • Sonarr/Radarr • Caddy • GitHub Actions
2022–Present
- Orchestrated with Docker Compose + dependency healthchecks; signed image publishing via GitHub Actions.
- Reduced deploy time 30m → 5m; eliminated config drift; codified env/secrets and rollback strategy.
- Hardened Caddy reverse proxy and tuned HW transcoding; added monitoring/logging for faster triage.
Next.js + Tailwind — Developer
SEO-ready site with ISR & image optimization
2024
- Built on App Router with ISR and image optimization; Core Web Vitals LCP < 2.0s on mid-tier hardware.
- Preview deployments per PR and automated checks (lint/type/test) as quality gates.
- A11y improvements and structured data for better crawlability and rich results.
Embedded Telemetry (STM32 + CAN + OLED) — Developer
Real-time vehicle data display
2024
- CAN frame parsing + SH1106/SSD1306 OLED telemetry; refresh rate 5Hz → 30Hz with HAL refactors.
- Stabilized SPI/I2C; unit tests for parser + fault-injection to catch bus anomalies.
- Pinout/docs and bring-up procedures to shorten collaborator setup time.
Education
Independent & Open-Source Learning
Project-driven practice across systems, backend, and web
Ongoing
- Algorithms/Data Structures • Operating Systems • Networking • Databases • ML/Computer Vision (self-study).
- Hands-on labs in homelab environments (Proxmox/KVM, OPNsense, VLANs) and open-source collaboration.
