EFFICIENCY, ENGINEERED

BetterCongress is a nonpartisan web app I built to help everyday people easily track bills and Congressional activity. It pulls data from Congress.gov into a self-hosted PostgreSQL database, bypassing API limits, and uses a locally run Qwen-30B LLM to summarize legislation in plain language. The UI is mobile-friendly and designed for clarity, with features like upvotes, comments, and moderation to encourage civic engagement without political bias.

Space Python is a high-performance iOS arcade game blending SpriteKit, UIKit, and SwiftUI in a custom hybrid architecture. Built for smooth 60+ FPS gameplay even on older devices, it features real-time combat, upgradable segments, dynamic difficulty scaling, and responsive touch controls. The codebase applies patterns like MVC, MVVM, Singletons, Object Pools, and Delegates, backed by a centralized game state machine and SIMD-accelerated math. With spatial collision via Quadtrees, memory-aware caching, and 18+ modular managers, Space Python demonstrates my ability to architect maintainable, performant systems for complex game or iOS apps.

Stockally is a minimalist stock tracking app designed for everyday investors who want a clear view of their portfolio without the noise. Built with Expo, NestJS, and MongoDB, the app uses a custom data ingestion backend to collect and store historical stock data from MarketStack, bypassing API rate limits. The client backend serves optimized, human-readable portfolio insights to the frontend, making it easy for users with little financial background to understand their gains and performance at a glance. Stockally reflects my focus on clean UX, scalable architecture, and real-world problem solving.

RateTheRent is a civic platform in development that empowers renters to review landlords and make more informed housing decisions. The site is designed to combine public property data with community-submitted reviews, moderated for accuracy and fairness. Built with a microservice architecture in mind, the goal is to provide a transparent, searchable database of landlord ratings over time—helping users avoid bad rental experiences and advocate for better housing.
