Projects

Things I've built

A selection of technical and creative work spanning data, web, and analysis.

Systems Programming · CS 15

Gerp — File Search Indexer

A grep-like file search tool built in C++ that recursively indexes directories and searches large codebases for exact and case-insensitive string matches. Designed for performance with a custom hash map implementation handling thousands of files.

Web Development · CS 20

Full-Stack Web Apps

A series of web programming projects covering MongoDB, PHP/MySQL, React, and AJAX/JSON — building dynamic applications with both frontend interactivity and backend data management.

Full-Stack · JumboCode Nonprofit

Massachusetts History Day

Engineered an interactive school-location mapping feature in TypeScript using MapLibre, visualizing 100+ data points across Massachusetts and reducing client manual lookup time from hours to seconds. Collaborated with a 13-person engineering team on a nonprofit case-management tool deployed to 1,000+ end users.

Equity Research · Independent

Independent Equity Research

Built a 3-statement model, DCF valuation, and comparable company analysis on CAVA Group. Pitched a long thesis with a $105 price target supported by a 4x unit growth runway against Chipotle. Also analyzed abnormal returns around earnings announcements for 20+ S&P 500 names using event-study methodology.

Trading Pitch · Tufts Trading Club

Trading Pitch – Tufts Trading Club

Pitched a long trade on Starbucks ahead of Q2 FY2026 earnings, arguing the turnaround was inflecting after 7 straight quarters of comp decline under new CEO Brian Niccol. Grounded the thesis in first-hand observations of store closures and modeled entry at $82 with a 3–6 month price target of $98.
