Who I am

Reliable under pressure, quick to learn, and genuinely good with people and systems.

For the past year I worked as a NASM-certified personal trainer at Crunch Fitness — after starting at the front desk and earning the promotion in five months. Before that: Chick-fil-A and a high-volume taco-truck kitchen — customer-facing, high-standards work since 2021. Earlier, I studied engineering and then kinesiology at Texas A&M.

On my own time I build and operate real software: a live trading system that runs 24/5 on a remote Windows server, plus a shipped desktop app and an iOS app in development. I own the whole stack — deploys, monitoring, and the things that break at 2 a.m.

Available weekday mornings, early shifts, and remote work. Afternoons are committed to professional licensing study, so I'm reliably free before noon and on weekends.

Solo build & operations

An automated futures-trading system I designed, deployed, and run around the clock on a remote Windows Server VPS — dozens of strategy modules, live market-data feeds, risk controls, scheduled jobs, and Telegram alerting. I handle every restart, log diagnosis, and deploy myself.

Sibyl

Founder & developer

A live co-pilot for life-insurance agents. It listens during sales calls and surfaces what an agent needs on the spot — up-to-date mortality factors, client risk assessment, underwriting recommendations — and logs referrals and beneficiaries. Runs entirely on-device and offline with local speech-to-text and a local language model. Shipped and in private use.
