Research
From directed reading to original work
Six projects across discrete mathematics, statistics, optimization, and computational number theory.
Exactification of Complex Packings
Recovered exact algebraic coordinates from numerical line-packing solutions, found closed-form minimizers, and corrected a published Paley-frame formula.
With Murtadha Aljanabi and Pramodya Athurugiriya · Advised by Dr. Gene Kopp
Financial Optimization
Built a quantitative project for studying portfolio allocations, risk, and drawdowns.
With Dr. Peter Wolenski
Softball Expected Statistics
Combined k-nearest neighbors with a generalized additive model to contextualize player outcomes, reaching R² = 0.944.
LSU Softball
Housing Price Analysis
Analyzed housing-price data and developed the supporting statistical code in R.
Graph Theory
Studied core graph-theoretic ideas with a focus on Hamiltonian paths and cycles.
Personal projects
Products built for everyday use
Two independent projects centered on sports knowledge and campus nutrition.
StatStack
1,000+games played since launch
StatStack is a free daily NBA puzzle game. I designed and built the browser experience, instrumented it with Supabase, and grew its first audience through direct outreach to basketball creators.
MacroCount
Campus dining, organized around your goals.
MacroCount uses live LSU dining menus to help students find meals that fit calorie and macronutrient targets, then makes those meals easy to log.

Laville Honors House
Resident Assistant
For three years, I have helped lead a residential community for Honors College students. The work combines day-to-day relationship building with operational responsibility: welcoming new residents, planning programs, mediating conflict, communicating policy, and responding to crises while on call.
The role taught me to adapt the same message for residents, peers, families, and professional staff; to make decisions with incomplete information; and to stay composed when the stakes were personal. It is the experience that most changed how I understand leadership—as consistent presence and clear communication, not just authority.
