About

I finished my BS in Business Administration at Georgia Tech in May 2026 and am back there now for an MS in Economics. Along the way I worked revenue management at Marriott, operations at McKinsey & Company, and supply chain and AI workflow automation at General Motors, and I run my own media business for 25+ clients. Outside class I lead the Ski and Snowboard Club at Georgia Tech (280+ members), co-founded the maritime security startup Hive Nautical, and was Treasurer of Alpha Epsilon Pi. I like problems where operations meets technology, from hotel revenue strategy to getting 280 skiers to Banff and back.

How I Built This

I made a game about my résumé, so now the game is on my résumé. I planned the town and its systems, directed AI coding tools to write the code, and checked each piece before it shipped. Vehicle physics and WebGL were new to me when I started, and the driving took a lot of rebuilds to get right. Twelve stops, ten of them playable.
