About me

Everone remembers their first Python code; print('Hello World'). I haven't stopped coding since I wrote that pirce of code all those years back. Today, I build things that matter. Using Machine Learning and Deep Learning (mostly for Natural Language Processing tasks), I design products that solve real problems for real people. My current passion project is WordBudz. I have been obsessed with word games for as long as I can remember and I am a true believer in the ability of games to foster meaningful human connection through competition.

My goal in life: Democratize access to the things that make life worth living

Featured Project

I built WordBudz, a voice-based word association game originally designed to tackle tip-of-the-tongue moments in public speaking. The idea came directly from my experience in a public speaking course where I kept noticing how often people freeze when they need a word quickly under pressure. The game gives players five words and five seconds each to say the first thing that comes to mind. The words are unpredictable. The clock is unforgiving. And the moment you start thinking instead of trusting yourself, you will feel it in your score. When you are done, your results generate a score card you can share anywhere.

I use a variety of tools to get my products up and running.
But I keep coming back to these the most.

Python
SQL
Anvil
Power BI
Tableau

I am also familiar with ArcGIS, R, and some HTML/CSS. And Excel. Oh my! It's so powerful once you understand it.

I work on a lot of personal projects. Some are more complete than others but I love the iterative process of working and reworking my goals for each of them. You can browse some below
