Stack
Python · C++ · TypeScript · Java · JavaScript · React · Flask · FastAPI · PyTorch · OpenCV · NumPy · Docker · Git · GitHub Actions · Linux
Some of the things I've built
GlobalQuote — Deployed React + TypeScript app that uses Groq LLM calls to extract product details from plain-English input, map them to HTS tariff rates, and generate landed-cost + margin/MSRP pricing analysis for U.S. retail in seconds
H.A.D.E.S — real-time drone detection and tracking on a Raspberry Pi; keeping YOLOv8 + OpenCV inference latency low enough for live use
gse_communication_controller — Raspberry Pi comms controller for SARP ground support equipment; robustness over elegance, serial/network IO in Python, full stack app using Flask + React for Mission Control
Zenith — full-stack exoplanet visibility planner; the hard part is getting astronomy coordinate/time math and the UI to agree
