University of South Carolina graduate, now an Application Developer at Muriya Tourism Development. Experienced in data, databases, networking and coding.

Who I am

I'm an IT professional who believes good technology should make people's work easier, not harder.

Since graduating from the University of South Carolina in 2024, I've worked across IT support, networking, data and development. I like being the person who notices a slow, manual process and replaces it with something that just works, whether that's an automated report, a dashboard or a full internal platform.

Outside the office I run my own barbershop, Studio 21. Owning a business taught me what a company really needs: clear numbers, smooth operations, and people who take ownership.

My business

I own Studio 21 and built its dashboard myself

Studio 21 is my barbershop, which I run alongside my IT career. I built its finance dashboard so every decision is based on real numbers.

Muriya Nexus: every company tool in one place

Employees used to jump between a dozen systems. Nexus is a single, secure platform with two-factor sign-in. Each person sees only the tools their role needs. Departments plan and track work in a built-in task planner, and an AI assistant drafts memos, summarizes updates and sets weekly priorities.

Data & reporting

Turning data into decisions

I build Power BI reports that show leaders where the money goes. This travel analysis breaks ticket spend down by department, airline, route and class, so management can spot the biggest cost drivers in seconds and plan budgets with confidence.

What's next

My road to AI engineering

Building an AI assistant into Muriya Nexus showed me where I want to go. I'm working toward becoming an AI engineer, and this is the roadmap I've set for myself.

  1. 01

    Prompt engineering

    Writing clear, structured prompts that get reliable results from LLMs.

  2. 02

    Python & math

    Relearning Python properly, plus the math behind machine learning.

  3. 03

    Local AI agents

    Training and running AI agents on local LLMs with Ollama.

  4. 04

    RAG

    Retrieval-augmented generation, so AI can answer from a company's own data.

Get to know me

More than the work.
