Hi there, I'm a Computer Science senior at Oregon State University (3.82 GPA, graduating June 2026) with hands on experience shipping software across the full stack; from React frontends and Node/Express APIs to Android apps, raw-socket networking tools, and cloud backend systems. My Computer Science degree Software Engineering focused, and my micro-credentials are in Theoretical Computer Science and Programming Fundamentals. I enjoy this type of work and I am happy to stay busy.
Currently working as a paid Software Engineering Evaluator (Contract) fixing bugs in open source codebases, writing regression tests, and debugging containerized CI environments.
- 🔭 Currently working on: Algorithmic Trading Platform (Senior Capstone) + contract SWE work via AI Handshake
- 🌱 Deepening: Docker, mypy/static typing, pytest, PHPUnit
- 💼 Seeking: Full-time SWE roles starting June 2026
- 💲 Expected pay: $50/hr and up.
- 📍 Based in Bend, OR
- ⚡ Background in Physics (A.A., COCC)

Kotlin · Jetpack Compose · MVVM · StateFlow · Android SDK
GPS-based treasure hunt app with real geofence verification using the haversine formula (accurate to <10m). Built with MVVM and StateFlow for reactive, lifecycle-safe UI. Handles runtime permissions, GPS signal loss, and edge cases gracefully.
React · Node.js · Express · MongoDB · Cloudflare · Render
Live production web app: React SPA frontend, Node/Express REST API, MongoDB Atlas database. Zero-downtime CI/CD via Render and Cloudflare CDN. Includes full stackk functionality across a contact form, purchase ready infrastructure, and live CRUD formatted databases. It exists to show that I can produce full stack web products with live databases and backend integration.
Running live at chansesyres.com.
Python · Raw Sockets · ICMP · RFC-792 · TCP/IP
Built from scratch using raw sockets; manually constructs RFC-792 ICMP Echo Request packets, computes checksums bit-by-bit, parses TTL-exceeded replies, and reconstructs full hop-by-hop network paths. Zero external dependencies.
Node.js · Express · MySQL · Relational Schema Design
Full-stack CRUD application with a normalized MySQL schema (6 entities, junction tables, cascading foreign keys). Server-rendered views and async AJAX workflows without page reloads.
C · POSIX Threads · Concurrent Programming
Low-level systems project using POSIX threading, mutexes, and shared memory to coordinate concurrent robot processes. Demonstrates OS-level concurrency concepts.
Note: My current workflow uses private branch pipelines, so my shipped work (PRs and Contributions) is not showing in GitHub’s public contribution graph.
I'm actively looking for full-time software engineering roles starting June 2026. If you're hiring or just want to chat about a project, reach out:
