Projects
- Python ETL pipeline scraping and normalizing statistics for 4,000+ UFC fighters into PostgreSQL, with engineered features for strike differentials, takedown rates and finish tendencies.
- XGBoost classifier at 75% held-out accuracy, served through FastAPI with automated daily retraining and a paid subscription tier.
- One Electron and React codebase ships to Windows and macOS for drafting, scheduling and publishing content across four platforms.
- Playwright automation drives each platform’s publishing flow, with platform-specific media rules and isolated per-account sessions in SQLite to prevent cross-account leakage.
- Local-first: accounts, drafts and history stay on your own machine, and you connect by signing in through the real platform web flows.
- Eight security topics taught through interactive simulations and knowledge tests, aimed at people who bounce off the usual security advice.
- Covers modern threats including deepfakes and AI impersonation, with practice scenarios rather than a wall of rules.
- Tailors a LaTeX resume to a specific job description, and compiles it with real pdflatex rather than approximating the output.
- Paste a job posting URL and it scrapes the requirements; live preview recompiles on a 300ms debounce with an original-versus-optimized toggle.
- Drop in an MP3, and it detects playable beat markers so the track advances one musical step per key press.
- Tauri desktop app with low-latency playback, a typing game layer, and a background mode that scores whatever you happen to be typing.
Education
