Some old projects, some new ones, some I'm still figuring out.
A private full-stack recipe app built for one real user. CuteCookbook combines recipe CRUD, URL-based recipe import, AI-assisted cooking chat, favorites, categories, image uploads, and a mobile-first interface into a cozy personal cookbook.
A mobile marketplace for homemade and local food vendors, inspired by buying comfort foods like tamales, pupusas, and pozole through Facebook Marketplace. Nibbly connects customers with home cooks, MEHKOs, food trucks, and small food businesses while giving sellers tools to manage profiles, menus, pickup orders, and limited-time food drops.
A walk-to-earn rewards app built for UCSC students. I worked on a four-person team as the only technical builder, creating the mobile app, business dashboard, Supabase backend, step-tracking system, and rewards flow. The idea came from noticing that UCSC students already walk everywhere, so BiteWalk rewards that walking with points redeemable at local restaurants.
A subscription web app for live online blackjack decision support. Built after noticing my Chipotle coworkers played online blackjack, BeatTheOdds lets users enter the visible table state and get a fast math-backed recommendation: hit, stand, double, split, or surrender.
A team-built Android roommate matching app for UCSC students. Slug Mate helps students discover potential roommates through profiles, preferences, swipe-based matching, and profile photos. My work focused on the backend/data layer: Firebase Auth, Firestore-backed swipe logic, validation, and profile photo upload/storage.
A hackathon MVP builder created for NVIDIA's Hack-a-Claw at UCSC. MVPilot takes a rough project idea and runs it through an autonomous build workflow: it scopes the MVP, retrieves hackathon/NVIDIA context, plans a repo, generates files, commits to GitHub, verifies the output, handles blockers, and produces a README, demo script, and pitch package. I was Person 1 on a 4-person team, owning the agent orchestration and Nemotron logic.
A Python trading bot platform for Polymarket BTC 5-minute Up/Down markets. I deploy it on GCP Compute Engine VMs so it can run continuously, discover active markets, evaluate BTC price movement against Polymarket odds, and place paper or live-gated trades only after risk checks pass.
