>whoami
I'm a rising sophomore at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign majoring in Computer Engineering with a minor in Hoeft Technology & Management. Beyond academics, I'm active in a professional business fraternity, the Illinois Space Society, and the Illini Run Club. I have a strong passion for sports and fitness and I play on several intramural soccer teams and am currently training for my first half-Ironman in September.

03featured experience
Software Engineer Intern at Nerdio
Skokie, IL
Three production TypeScript systems on Azure: an identity-audit MCP server, a governed LLM proxy, and a multi-destination webhook delivery platform.
- Architected a TypeScript MCP server integrating Microsoft Graph and Azure ARM to audit privileged Entra ID / Azure RBAC access across a 60+-tenant multi-cloud identity platform; 12 tools, OAuth app-only auth, and Azure Container Apps hosting with Entra-authenticated HTTP transport.
- Built an authenticated LLM/API proxy so internal apps can call Claude without exposing the Anthropic API key — validates Entra ID JWTs, injects a server-side key, proxies the Anthropic API, and enforces per-user allowlists, model allowlists, and rate limits; deployed to Azure App Service with Key Vault secrets and structured audit logging.
- Engineered a TypeScript Azure Function App multi-destination webhook delivery platform that replaced scattered automations with a queue-backed routing system to Teams, Azure Communication Services Email, or HTTPS webhooks, with an append-only Table Storage audit log; Entra Easy Auth and a custom RBAC admin dashboard on Static Web Apps, with GitHub Actions OIDC CI/CD.

Personal projects are in progress and will land here once they're worth reading about. In the meantime, the Nerdio work above is the best picture of what I build.
06about
About
Most of my engineering so far has happened at Nerdio, across two summers: first building internal tools, dashboards, and automations, then writing TypeScript services on Azure for identity auditing, governed LLM access, and webhook delivery.
Outside of school I'm training for a half-Ironman, and I spend a lot of time figuring out how to work well alongside AI tooling rather than around it.
