02 Selected Work

The details

Let's Cook is a full-stack kitchen companion that turns whatever is in your pantry into concrete meal ideas. Users track ingredients and expiry dates, and the app highlights what needs to be used first. A single tap sends your pantry, portions, and dietary prefs to the OpenAI API to generate structured recipes with steps, ingredients, and cook time, backed by Spoonacular for ingredient data and Supabase for auth and real-time sync. On the frontend, React Native components are organized around a single pantry state so recipe generation, expiry alerts, and dietary filters all stay in sync.

The details

Project Draftr is a full-stack analysis tool for five-champion League of Legends team comps. It pulls live win rates by rank from the Riot Games API, scores pairwise champion synergy, and classifies each draft into an archetype (e.g. teamfight, pick, front-to-back) with a letter grade so players can quickly understand strengths, gaps, and win conditions. Under the hood, a FastAPI backend handles data fetching, caching, and composition scoring, exposed to a React frontend that focuses on clear visual feedback as you tweak drafts.

The details

SPECTRE QUEST began as a small passion project and grew into a large-scale Unity title built over four years. It pushed my skills in building reusable gameplay systems, optimizing performance for complex scenes, and putting real project management in place around scope, milestones, and collaboration. The codebase is structured around modular systems (abilities, enemies, levels) that can be extended without rewriting core game loops, which was critical as scope evolved.

03 AI Usage

I treat AI as a force multiplier, not a shortcut. Tools like Cursor and Claude help me iterate faster, explore alternatives, and catch edge cases early, while I stay accountable for architecture, correctness, and maintainability.

My goal is simple: ship higher-quality software in fewer cycles. I use AI most effectively when it's paired with strong fundamentals: clear specs, good tests, reliable observability, and careful review.

This also makes collaboration easier: I can produce clearer PR descriptions, faster spikes, and more complete documentation, without sacrificing ownership of the solution.

Workflow in practice Hover steps to explore

Discover & clarify

Start with the problem, not the prompt. I write a short brief in natural language (goal, inputs, constraints, "done" criteria), then use AI to pressure-test edge cases and missing requirements before touching code.

Clarify requirements Surface edge cases Align on success

Where AI helps most

Scaffolding & refactors. Generate a first pass, then tighten types, naming, structure.
Debugging. Reproduce issues, form hypotheses, and validate fixes with targeted tests.
API & data modeling. Propose schemas and endpoints, then verify constraints and edge cases.

Guardrails I use

Small diffs. Ship incremental changes with clear rollback paths.
Verification. Tests, linting, and manual checks for UX and performance.
Security awareness. Never paste secrets; validate auth, input, and data access.

How I communicate it

Transparent. I can explain what AI contributed and what I validated.
Outcome-driven. Focus on cycle time, reliability, and product impact.

04 About Me

I'm a multi-skilled developer with a background in VR and professional experience at Fullport Dev, where I've built modern full-stack applications with a focus on clean architecture and real-world impact.

I'm drawn to problems at the intersection of engineering and product thinking, while leveraging the incredible advancements in the field of AI. I'm working toward roles in technical leadership and software architecture.

Outside of work, I'm an indie game developer, guitarist, avid reader, and an aspiring golfer. I believe the best software comes from teams grounded in strong communication, genuine curiosity and interest.
