A collection of class projects and early work experiences that show the skills I'm building as I pursue my CS degree.

  • Smart AI Budget & Goal Planner
    Smart AI Budget & Goal Planner

    Awarded the Columbus State University Student Applied Research Fellowship, a competitive, paid award recognizing high-impact software design among hundreds of nominees. Architected an interactive financial web application using Python and Streamlit to evaluate user budgets against the 50/30/20 standard and identify target monthly savings. Integrated the Google Gemini API to dynamically parse income data, generating customized milestone schedules and predictive savings plans within user-defined constraints, reaching 80+ unique users. Deployed on Streamlit Cloud with encrypted environment secrets, eliminating API credential exposure in version control.

  • Automated Cloud Scripting Pipeline
    Automated Cloud Scripting Pipeline

    Built a CI/CD workflow via GitHub Actions to provision virtual Ubuntu environments on every push, running automated script execution and test passes to eliminate 100% of local hardware dependency. Isolated sensitive API credentials and runtime secrets using encrypted repository environment variables, mitigating credential leakage risks across automated deployments.
