Ever since I wrote my first line of code, I was hooked on the idea of building something that just works.

Born and raised in Memphis, Tennessee. I started writing code when I was 10 years old. Later, in high school, I dove into hackathons and interned at ALSAC/St. Jude and I stayed active in my local tech community. After graduation, I took my passion seriously and enrolled in a full-time coding bootcamp, where I trained in full-stack web development. Not long after, I landed an internship at Ookla — the team behind Speedtest — where I helped optimize systems, automate workflows, and modernize legacy apps. From my first script to real-world projects, it’s been a journey fueled by curiosity, community, and code.

Achievements

  • At Ookla, engineered optimized data analysis software that cut processing time from 20 minutes to just 5—massively boosting team efficiency and responsiveness.

  • Built robust database automation scripts that transformed tasks from full-day efforts into streamlined 1-hour operations, saving time and reducing manual error.

  • Overhauled outdated internal web apps to improve performance, maintainability, and security—laying the groundwork for more scalable and sustainable systems.

  • Broke down complex coding topics in web, mobile, and robotics to inspire the next generation of developers.
