2025 — Present

Run a Cincinnati-based drone photography and web development business.
FAA Part 107 certified; shoot aerial photography of commercial real estate properties for clients.
Built and shipped production websites for local businesses using React and Next.js, handling everything from client requirements to hosting (Cloudflare DNS/CDN) and domain setup (GoDaddy/Namecheap/Cloudflare).
Use AI coding tools like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor to move faster, but still review and test everything before it ships.

2026

Building a point-in-time securities database for U.S. equities so backtests can't use information that wasn't actually available at the time.
Reconstructed historical index membership instead of pulling today's constituent list, to avoid survivorship bias.
Track data coverage gaps explicitly instead of quietly filling them in, so results stay honest about what the data actually supports.

2025

Built a paper-trading system with eight separate LLM agents, each running a different strategy (value, growth, technical, sentiment, macro, sector, risk, momentum), feeding a fund-manager agent that decides what to trade.
Wired it up to live market data and the Alpaca paper-trading API to track real portfolio performance over time.

2025

Wrote a Python pipeline that turns PDF textbook content into synthetic Q&A training data.
Fine-tuned Qwen2.5-Math-7B with QLoRA (via Unsloth) on Apple Silicon.
Set up a small distributed inference cluster across a Mac Mini, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro using Nix and exo.

Languages: Python, JavaScript/TypeScript
Frameworks & Infrastructure: React, Next.js, WebSockets, Cloudflare (Workers/DNS/CDN), Nix, Git
AI/ML: QLoRA, Unsloth, agentic AI-assisted development (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor)
