I am a passionate developer and the founder of NRST Studio, where I turn innovative ideas into tangible products that make a difference. Over the years, I’ve crafted over 40 projects, ranging from sleek websites and intuitive SaaS tools to cutting-edge AI-driven applications and custom dashboards. At NRST, my focus is on delivering real solutions for real people, and I take pride in the studio’s current milestone of generating $1,000 a month. My technical arsenal is primarily built around React, Next.js, Tailwind, TypeScript, and Firebase, all of which I utilize to ensure each product I develop is a blend of clean design and seamless performance. My journey in technology is complemented by a robust background in education, where I serve as the Assistant Director at Riverside Education Center. Here, I maintain the IT infrastructure supporting over 40 students, achieving 99% uptime, and I’ve successfully increased student performance in STEM-based classes by 25% over six months. This dual role as a developer and educator allows me to merge my love for solving problems with my passion for fostering the next generation of tech enthusiasts. I have also had the privilege of mentoring students, guiding them through personal and academic growth, which is immensely rewarding. Previously, my technical expertise was honed at The Ohio State University, where I played a pivotal role in cybersecurity training projects as a Content Designer. I set up development environments for diverse programming languages and identified critical website vulnerabilities, reinforcing my skills in cybersecurity. My tenure at Apple further refined my troubleshooting prowess, as I resolved complex hardware and software issues, ensuring customer satisfaction and device optimization. I graduated with a Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Science from The Ohio State University, and my educational journey has equipped me with a strong foundation in both theory and application. Whether it’s delving into data science, full-stack development, or cybersecurity, I am driven by a desire to build, learn, and contribute to teams that share my commitment to innovation and excellence. I am open to opportunities in frontend, QA, or data roles, eager to bring my diverse skill set to environments that value creativity and growth.
