Selected Technical Projects

Personal Portfolio Site

HTML, CSS, Git, Cloudflare Pages

  • Multi-page site (Home, Resume, Technical Projects, Freelance, Content Production) with a shared design system built from scratch in plain HTML and CSS, no framework.
  • Directed every structural and content decision, page architecture, copy, ordering, and design choices, built with Claude Code through an iterative process.
  • Deployed through a Git-based pipeline to Cloudflare Pages, with automatic rebuilds on push.
Medicaid NPI Analyzer

Python, DuckDB, Streamlit, Plotly

  • Interactive analysis of a 238-million-row, roughly 11 GB Medicaid claims dataset, comparing servicing versus billing NPI spending patterns with peer benchmarking and per-provider abuse markers.
  • Columnar Parquet storage with input-validated, escaped SQL filtering over DuckDB.
  • Data quality work surfaced a single HCPCS code carrying over $20 trillion in impossible charges across 34 rows; the finding was documented and the records excluded from the analysis set.
  • Paired with a Jupyter notebook recording the full exploration and cleaning methodology.
AgDat

Python, DuckDB, pytest

  • Fraud, waste, and abuse detection platform that ingests any CSV or Excel file and profiles every column to infer semantic type.
  • Runs nine statistical detectors and ranks findings by severity with plain-language explanations.
  • Runs fully locally, so sensitive data never leaves the machine.
RankOrder

Python, Streamlit

  • Elo-rating preference engine deriving a full ordinal ranking from repeated ten-way comparisons.
  • Implements exposure-balanced sampling and randomized positioning to control for selection and position bias.
  • Persistent rating state and a local cache layer for large libraries.
Video Clipper

JavaScript, Electron, FFmpeg

  • Desktop application for frame-accurate video trimming with waveform-based timeline navigation.
  • Automatic proxy-transcoding fallback for codecs the runtime cannot decode natively.
  • Packaged with an electron-builder Windows configuration.
Local TTS Studio

Python, Gradio, PyTorch

  • Web interface unifying two speech-synthesis engines behind one local interface with a shared engine calling convention.
  • Kokoro-82M preset voices across nine languages and Chatterbox zero-shot voice cloning across 23.
  • Runs fully offline after the first-run model download.
Additional Tooling
  • Automated multi-camera video edit generation driven by user-supplied beat patterns and tempo maps, with automatic resolution and frame-rate conforming.
  • Batch media processing pipelines (FFmpeg, pydub).
  • Image compositing utilities and a browser-based color palette studio.
