Now

August 2026

A dated snapshot of work, side projects, and time outside.

Outside

Walked the northern John Muir Trail solo: 164 miles from Happy Isles down to LeConte Canyon, out over Bishop Pass, August 2 to 14. Thirteen days out, about thirteen miles a day. The trip page has the photos and the numbers.

Building

Burra, mostly: a native macOS app that watches for the manual work a small business keeps repeating and surfaces it as something worth automating. Local first, so the record of what you do stays on your own machine.

Kalisi is still going too, and on August 24 it goes into the inaugural Purdue HIVE founder cohort with me.

Work

Wrapped a second summer at Lockheed Martin in the Bay Area, this time as an AI + Cloud Intern. Junior year at Purdue starts this month, CIT and Economics, as a PURCE Economic Scholar.

Learning

This site is where I am getting sharper with Astro content collections and Cloudflare's D1, KV, and Workers surfaces. The useful part is keeping the editorial pages and the data-heavy tools in one system.

Looking for

A Summer 2027 internship at a Bay Area startup. Data science, AI engineering, or consulting. Email me.
