An engineer by practice, an operator by training.

I taught myself to write software in 2020. Within a year, I had built and operated a complete online business alongside a partner, including the storefront, payment processing, automated user verification, and direct customer support. The venture closed; the discipline did not.

Today I balance three commitments: a senior year at Framingham State University in Business and Information Technology with a minor in Economics, a management role at Westwood Pizza overseeing delivery operations, and a development partnership with a small trading collective building an education platform.

The combination is intentional. Running a kitchen on a Friday night and shipping an authentication flow on a Sunday morning are exercises in the same fundamental discipline: delivering a working result under constraint, with the people and resources at hand.

Co-foundedClosed

An online business, built and operated end to end.

Co-founded and operated an online subscription business in 2020 with a partner. I designed and built the storefront, integrated payment processing, developed the verification bots that managed access for paying users, and provided customer support directly. The venture closed when our circumstances diverged. It was the first time I owned the entire stack: acquisition, transaction, retention, and support.

Co-builderActive

An education platform for an experienced trading collective.

Joined a five-person trading group in early 2024 to help them launch an education business. I built the marketing site and the member dashboard, including authentication and the user portal, in collaboration with their analysts and developers. The platform is now serving paying members.
