Built

Minimal distraction-free time tracker for personal projects. One-tap clock in, full-screen focus mode inspired by iPhone lock screen, 7-day stacked bar charts. No accounts, no backend — everything in localStorage.

// background

Junior at BYU studying Strategic Management — but the real major is building things. Got into coding to automate everything that felt repetitive and build systems that generate value while I'm not watching.

Riding the AI wave intentionally — not just using tools but building with them. Trading bots, content pipelines, automation systems. The goal is to ship things that actually run, not just look good in a portfolio.

Target: Anduril, Anthropic, Nvidia, and orgs at the intersection of AI, defense tech, and hardware. Problems that matter.
