Experience

1. Software Engineering Intern

   Skinstric · 2026 – Present

   I built the screens for Skinstric's onboarding AI. A person starts with a short setup, takes a photo, and the AI returns ranked estimates for age, sex, and race. My work was the camera step and the result screens: the strongest estimate appears first, and the person can tell what to look at next.

2. Virtual internship

   FES Institute · Frontend development

   I built screens people actually move through. On Summarist, a reader lands, opens a book, chooses read or listen, saves it, and can subscribe. The cover stays recognizable from the feed to the player so they never lose the title they picked. On Ultraverse, collections, new items, search, a creator page, and an item page each load on their own, so one slow request does not blank what the person is already looking at.

3. Frontend Development Bootcamp

   FES Institute · Founded by David Bragg

   I learned HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, Next.js, Node.js, TypeScript, and Redux by making interfaces, not by collecting notes. The question I kept was simple: can someone tell what this screen is for, and what they should do next? I use AI tools to draft and debug, then I read the result and walk the path myself.

4. IT Systems & Infrastructure Intern

   Loup Power District · Columbus, NE · June 2026 – December 2026

   The work is infrastructure, and the part I carry into frontend engineering is what a person can see and trust. I help test tasks through deployment, configure and deploy Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories SEL-3620 and SEL-3622 security gateways, sit in on design reviews for operational network communication, assist with rack installs, cable organization, and switch maintenance, and prepare workstations from standard procedures. A gateway or a workstation is only useful if the operator can tell what state it is in and what to do next. That is the same standard I want an interface to meet.

5. Frozen & Dairy Operations Specialist

   Hy-Vee Foods · Columbus, NE · March 2020 – June 2026

   I kept frozen and dairy stock organized, tracked inventory, and ran audits so a shopper could find the product without a hunt. When someone was stuck, I helped them directly. It is ordinary work, and it trained the habit I use on screens: put the thing where a person expects it, and make the next step obvious.

Leadership

Community

• Adoption ambassador

  Samaritas, Michigan · 2025 – present

  Support child-welfare awareness and speak up for foster-care networks. The work is outreach: helping a person understand a program and decide to take part.

• Youth mentor and speaker

  Juvenile detention facilities, Detroit and Ann Arbor

  Join mentorship sessions on personal development, goal-setting, and decisions. I try to leave a clear next step, not a speech.

  Visit pediatric patients and families during hospital stays.

  Special Olympics and youth camps

  Help with logistics so athletes and campers can take part without friction.
