The Work

JOB 001 / PRODUCT Released v0.2.33

ListenWell

A music player for people who would rather own their music than rent it. Upload your own files, keep them private in your account, and play them from any device. It started as a personal cloud locker and grew into a full player: gapless playback, crossfade, A-B looping, a visualizer, friends, and library sync across devices. Released for web, Windows, macOS, Linux and Android, with an in-app updater fed by automated GitHub Actions releases.

JOB 002 / MOBILE APP Building

Selv

A 3D closet and try-on app (working name, formerly Wardrobely). Design a stylized 3D character, digitize your real clothes from photos, and try outfits on in 3D before you post them. A Claude-powered wardrobe assistant helps you style what you already own instead of buying more. Currently building the avatar mesh pipeline ahead of the App Store launch.

JOB 003 / GAME Live

Surf Duel

Browser multiplayer surf racing, inspired by the surf mode from Source-engine games. Air-strafe down steep ramps on five hand-made courses, or type a sentence and the OpenAI API designs a course for you, repaired until it is beatable. Live rooms for up to 8 players, global leaderboards, and ghost runs checked on the server against the course and the physics. Built for the Handshake × OpenAI Multiplayer Game Challenge.

JOB 004 / AGENCY Live

Navi Marketing

An AI automation agency for local businesses, starting in Jacksonville: AI that books more jobs and loses fewer leads. AI receptionists that answer every call, lead generation, automated follow up, and websites. Behind it runs a Telegram bot I built that scrapes leads, distributes them to callers, books appointments, and sends follow up emails on its own.

About

I learn best by building. Most of what I know came from shipping something, seeing how people actually use it, and fixing what breaks.

I'm a computer science student at the University of South Florida. I'm most interested in software engineering, AI, machine learning, and computer vision, and I enjoy projects that solve a real problem for real people.

Most of my time right now goes to two projects. ListenWell began as a simple cloud music locker and grew, one release at a time, into a player for web, desktop and Android. Selv is a 3D closet and try-on app I'm working toward an App Store launch. Both have taught me a lot about what it takes to keep software working once people rely on it.

I also started Navi Marketing, an AI automation agency for local businesses, building AI receptionists, lead generation, and automated follow up that take repetitive work off owners' plates.

Outside of code, I've captained teams in basketball and competitive Counter-Strike. Both taught me to stay calm under pressure, communicate clearly, and put the team first, and I try to bring that to every group I'm part of.

Off the clock: I've played basketball my whole life, and I'm big on gaming, music, nature, and the gym. That balance is what keeps everything else running.

Long term, I'd love to build a technology company. For now I'm focused on getting better, ideally on a team where I can learn from more experienced engineers and contribute to real work.
