"I fly the sensors, then build the software that turns their data into decisions."
LSU Geography grad building production software at Marathon Petroleum's Garyville refinery by day — and running five live multiplayer games on the side.
Built solo for the drone inspection program at the Garyville refinery — every one of these is in real use by real crews.
Maps ~96 process-unit polygons with sub-unit photo routing, a thermal viewer verified within 0.1°F of DJI's commercial reference tool, and self-contained single-file HTML snapshot publishing for vendor handoff. The system of record for how inspection flights get reviewed at the site.
When DJI's official SDK failed across camera firmwares, I reverse-engineered DJI's proprietary APP3 thermal storage and FLIR's FFF binary container — re-encoding radiometric data via Planck-equation inversion, accurate to <0.01°C round-trip. Ships as one offline .exe used daily by the inspection team.
Compares monthly drone captures of pipe-support spring cans to detect lever movement, corrosion, and physical damage — then generates color-coded PDF reports. What used to be a manual, photo-by-photo review now runs as a pipeline.
One locked map of live aircraft, METAR weather, and animated NEXRAD radar around the refinery. The Rust backend classifies aircraft behavior, detects airspace conflicts by dead-reckoning, and predicts whether an aircraft will be audible on site — all in a single 6 MB executable.
An interactive refinery map and mission catalog that quantifies the value of every flight — cost avoided, days saved, and safety hours kept off elevated structures — packaged as one self-contained file that opens anywhere, no install, no server.
Solo-built multiplayer worlds with real users — custom backends, real-time sync, payments, and auth.
Reverse-engineered FotMob's undocumented endpoints to ingest 27 per-player stats with 30–50 s event-to-UI latency, replacing $200+/mo sports APIs. Pure-Rust scoring engine, passwordless multi-device auth, atomic deploys with online-safe SQLite snapshots.
Every player has a personality, memories, and an emotional state — and your conversations with them shape match outcomes. A three-loop AI architecture runs on a Groq → Cerebras → Sambanova failover chain at zero per-match inference cost, with 3D avatars and live pundit commentary.
Point the AI at a city and get a custom course with real bars, photos, and routes — or build your own. Live group rounds join with a 5-character code or QR scan, with photo highlights per hole and a comedic penalty system issued by "the Caddy." Premium via Stripe.
Draft real footballers past and present as stat cards and battle through an endless gauntlet one duel at a time — with a world leaderboard, card collection, and roguelike meta-progression that lets you bank one starter from each finished run.
Open passports to claim real cities as one-of-one collectible cards, chart trade routes along the Silk Road, and send surveyors on expeditions. A genuine player-to-player trading economy on an interactive world map — a card game built out of geography itself.
Utilities and systems built around coordinates, imagery, and maps.
A live globe streaming ships (AIS), aircraft (ADS-B), earthquakes (USGS), wildfires (NASA EONET), and wildlife photographs worldwide in real time. Six Rust crates built from scratch — hand-written R-tree spatial index, H3 hexagonal level-of-detail, crash-safe write-ahead log — under a custom raw-WebGL2 renderer that composites a live photo atlas in a single draw call.
Three-way conversion between a plant's local site grid, Louisiana State Plane, and WGS84 — a hand-rolled least-squares affine solver fit to 16 ground-control points, with per-point residual reporting for surveying-grade transparency.
Turns a folder of geotagged photos into a Google Earth flight path with embedded imagery — using a hand-written EXIF/TIFF parser and a hand-written ZIP writer. No libraries, no server, no upload.
Extracts GPS from 360° panoramas and projects WGS84 → UTM from first principles (ellipsoid math, meridional arc — no proj4) to position imagery inside a digital twin. In company-wide use.
Scrapes football data for ~1,400 World Cup players by exploiting Next.js build-ID JSON endpoints — rate-limited, SQLite-backed, and dependency-free. The data layer behind Hunch.
Fly a multi-sensor DJI fleet (thermal, OGI, LiDAR, acoustic) under Part 107 inside an active refinery, and solo-build the software layer of the drone program — the dashboards, pipelines, and tools above. GIS workflows in ArcGIS Pro & Enterprise feed the site's digital-twin initiative.
Created environmental site maps and processed spatial datasets in ArcGIS Pro; produced client-ready deliverables and supported spatial analysis.
