Projects

01

KBR Real Estate Holdings Platform

Contract Software Engineer · May 2026 – Present

Architected and deployed a custom production web platform managing 24+ commercial and residential assets across 3 states, scoring 98+ on Google Lighthouse performance benchmarks. Engineered dynamic dual-portfolio data pipelines with Next.js server actions and { cache: 'no-store' } controls, reducing Google Sheets sync latency from ~150s timeouts to real-time (<200ms) updates. Designed a mobile-first UI with viewport-locking gesture rails, fluid custom image fallbacks, and a dark institutional aesthetic.

Volare 2.0: Text-to-SQL Aviation Analytics

Fall 2026

Async Text-to-SQL engine generating read-only PostgreSQL queries over multi-million-row BTS T-100 aviation data, behind a 4-layer security pipeline (AST blacklisting, read-only roles, timeouts, prompt-injection filters). LLM orchestration with automated SQL self-correction loops and tiered fallback across Groq and Gemini achieves sub-second latency and a 100% pass rate on validation benchmarks, surfaced through an interactive Next.js/Tailwind dashboard mapping great-circle flight paths via Leaflet.

Where RU?: Campus Lost & Found

HackRU Fall 2026

Image-based classroom recognition identifying which of 29 Rutgers lecture halls a photo was taken in, combining OpenCV feature matching with PyTorch DINOv2 scene similarity calibrated on real photos. Private matching alerts only the likely owner, who must prove ownership before any identities are shared. Real-time sync with record-level merging, load-tested at 50 concurrent clients (p95 <30ms, zero lost writes).

taskFolio: University Task Command Center

Fall 2026

Offline-first PWA for tracking courses, assignments, and exams, with Canvas/Google Classroom import. Zero-login cross-device sync via per-device keys, debounced Neon Postgres pushes, and QR-code pairing. API routes hardened against SSRF with private-IP blocking and response caps, plus Postgres-backed rate limiting. Includes a weight × urgency priority queue and GPA forecaster, backed by 57 unit tests and pre-deploy checks.
