Amazing experience so far. One of my main interests is to work in and on Product. This allows me to do that with levels of autonomy unlike anywhere else. "Mix between product manager, software engineer and strategist..." - Palantir Blog

Got my second gig at the world's largest credit union (not-for-profit financial institution). First time working in a bureaucratic corporate company. Learned a lot about industry standards, the nuances of frontend, and what I do & don't want. Tons of respect for what they do, but it wasn't fulfilling enough for me.

Got my first gig at my dad's consulting firm. Rebuilt the ancient website in React.js and managed the project from interviewing stakeholders to a finished site. My first intro to web dev learning about design, frontend, and user experience.

Web app that makes you a phone wallpaper using your favorite music from the past month through Spotify. This is very scrappy but I want to see if it can go somewhere.

Chrome extension that provides a summary and lets you research an article on the news page itself. This was my first project and was a basic GPT wrapper, but led to a lot of cool cold emails and opportunities.

Insert a podcast link and have access to detailed info on the books, people, and companies mentioned. Latest unfinalized project that I did with my 3 roommates from college. It was an excuse to actually learn database systems.

Insert a YouTube link and get a sentiment analysis through NLP of the top few hundred comments displayed by an interactive data visualization.
