CS senior at the University of South Dakota, graduating May 2027. Recently: a search tool now used at my IT desk, an insurance rating model rebuilt from 90,000+ Excel formulas into an API, and Premier League ML models where I caught a data leak that was inflating my own results.
A semantic search tool for USD’s 3,109 IT knowledge base articles. It matches plain-language problems (“my laptop screen broke”) to the right technical article, where keyword search often missed. I built it for my own lookups at the Service Desk, and it is now actively used at the desk.
A web app that scales recipes to any guest count, checks which dishes fit each guest group’s dietary needs, and merges everything into one shopping list. AI recipe import from text, URLs, and photos uses the Gemini API, with a regex parser handling common input first.
Three ML tools in one web app, built from 1.89M Premier League player appearances: a market-value predictor, a match-outcome predictor, and a player-style finder. I caught a hidden data leak where a feature used post-match information, and rebuilt it from past matches only.
A music trivia game where players pick a song’s real next line from a set of believable fake ones. A Python seeding pipeline pulls song data from the iTunes and Genius APIs, and Claude Haiku generates the decoy lines.
University of South Dakota, Information Technology ServicesService Desk AnalystResolve hardware, software, and network issues for students, faculty, and staff, and restore secure access by troubleshooting Duo MFA failures. Built KB Finder for my own lookups; it is now actively used at the desk.
