"I don't just analyze what's working — I build the thing, measure it, and make it grow."
About me

I graduated from UCF with a BS in Finance and immediately put it to work in the real world — not in a spreadsheet, but scaling a YouTube channel from nothing to 300,000 followers while tracking every metric that moved the needle.

Along the way I taught myself iOS and Android development and shipped a full-stack social travel app across three platforms using Swift, Kotlin, JavaScript, and Firebase. That's the kind of thing that doesn't show up on a standard finance resume — and it's exactly what makes mine different.

I'm looking for a role where analytical thinking and a builder's mindset actually matter. Revenue modeling, data-driven strategy, product operations — I'm at home anywhere numbers meet execution.

Featured project

TravelBroche — built from the ground up

A full-stack social travel application with real user profiles, social mapping, and content discovery — built and deployed independently across iOS, Android, and web. No team, no prior mobile experience when I started.

The project shows more than technical skill: it proves I can identify a problem, design a solution, and follow through to a working product. That's rare for a finance grad.
