I initiated and led the development of BizzNest Flow, a custom-built mathematical analysis tool created for Digital Nest’s internship program. Designed to track and improve learning outcomes, the platform provides real-time metrics on intern progress throughout the year-long curriculum. This project represents both my vision and full-stack skill set — from building a custom mathematical model to designing the database architecture, user interface, and backend systems.

Built with React, Node.js, and MySQL, BizzNest Flow enhances decision-making and equips the organization with actionable insights into intern progress.

I contributed significantly to the development of the Central Coast Comedy website using custom PHP, CSS, and WordPress. In a fast-paced, high-pressure environment, my 3-person team at Digital Nest was challenged to design and build the site in just one week. We not only met the deadline, but also exceeded our client’s expectations.

"As my growing love for physics develops, an obvious project choice emerged. To practice physics and computer science at the same time, I built Sim Science. Sim Science is still in it's early stages of development, but as I continue to explore the world of physics, Sim Science will continue to grow."
