My Current Mission

I'm focused on growing as a developer and deepening my knowledge and skills.
I may or may not be sharing more about what I'm doing. Check out my blog for updates.

My Current Role

Currently, I'm a Software Developer at Empire Medical, where I use PHP, Laravel, and Livewire to build and maintain a custom business application. The team is small but highly effective; I get to make meaningful contributions on a daily basis. I love working on this team. Previously, I worked in the JavaScript ecosystem, so I'm proficient there as well. I sometimes offer web development services as a freelancer.

RAG-powered, Bible-based AI Chat

Lumina

Lumina is a Bible-based AI chat application that uses Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) to provide accurate and relevant answers to user questions. Its built with Laravel on the backend, React on the frontend via Inertia, and PostgreSQL. I leverage a custom Pinecone vector store which holds the entire chunked and vectorized Bible. OpenAI's GPT-5.4 and text-embedding-3-large models are used for embeddings and responses. Real-time streaming gives it a seamless feel. Check it out and ask it anything regarding your faith or the Bible!

Full stack React Contacts Management app

Touch Base

Touch Base uses React-Router for frontend navigation and Node.js & Express for its backend API, connected to a PSQL database. It features a fully responsive design, full CRUD capabilities for contacts and groups, Firebase Auth, and Resend for email functionality. AWS S3 is used for image hosting and you can now import contacts from a CSV file. A demo login lets you easily tour the app and safely perform all actions. Go try it out or read my post about how I implemented CSV importing.
