Software Engineer | Computer Science Student | Developer Club WMU Lead | Founder, Guide Systems

I am a Computer Science student at Western Michigan University graduating in May 2026 while working full-time as a software engineer. I focus on building practical software systems that solve real operational problems, particularly platforms that manage complex workflows, data, and automation.

I am the founder of Guide Systems, a software company focused on building operational software platforms for organizations.

Guide Systems focuses on developing scalable systems that help companies manage complex operations such as procurement workflows, vendor management, inventory tracking, and internal automation. I design and implement the full technical stack for the platform, including backend services, database architecture, infrastructure, and frontend applications.

The goal of Guide Systems is to create reliable, well‑engineered software that helps organizations operate more efficiently while providing modern user experiences and maintainable systems.

As a leader of Developer Club WMU at Western Michigan University, I help guide engineering efforts across multiple developer communities and mentor students interested in gaining real-world development experience.

I also work on the architecture and development of the club's internal platform used for managing members, events, applications, and participation tracking.

TypeScript, JavaScript, Node.js, React, Next.js, TanStack, tRPC, Zod

PostgreSQL, SQLite

API design, domain-driven architecture, full-stack application development

Docker, GitHub Actions, CI/CD pipelines, VM-based deployments

I am interested in building scalable software platforms, designing reliable backend systems, and developing tools that improve operational workflows. I particularly enjoy working on systems that combine strong architecture, clean APIs, and efficient user interfaces.
