Ranks where a home-service team should knock. A scoring model over Census ACS5 block group data weighs housing age, owner occupancy and income band against the profile of a viable lead for a given vertical, then renders it as an interactive choropleth across tens of thousands of block groups that managers carve into territories and assign to reps.

Content Creator & Builder
Built a global architecture and design community: designed and shared original builds that passed 600,000+ views, produced tutorial content, and grew an audience of fellow builders. It runs from Architectural Drafting in 9th grade through to the design work I do now — started as genuine enjoyment and became an exercise in showing up consistently.

About
The person behind the stuff you see, where I'm based, what I care about, and how I like to work.
I'm a high school junior in Boulder and a self taught aspiring developer who builds full products solo, backend architecture, the design system, and the marketing copy in between. I work mostly in Next.js, TypeScript, and Tailwind, with Claude Code as a regular collaborator.
A portfolio is not proof of what you built. It is proof you noticed.
