Current Work

This summer, I'm working at Thesis Driven, a media firm specializing in the real estate capital markets— covering the deals, trends, and people shaping the future of the built world.

I developed, published, and am currently maintaining the Racquet Club Database for Thesis Driven, which allows users to search for and filter racquet clubs— a rapidly growing asset class.

I also worked on their Capital Markets Summit on August 4th, 2026. I managed invites and served as the primary point of contact for the speakers and attendees. Additionally, I organized and developed the attendee directory for the summit. I managed the primaary event overview page as well.

Reading

I'm currently reading Dracula by Bram Stoker, and I just finished Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain.

Favorites

My favorite book of all time is Bright Lights, Big City by Jay McInerney. My favorite classic is The Catcher in the Rye. I have an extensive list of favorite movies that I curate on Letterboxd.

Projects

Video Games

Staying Afloat, a game where you dive underwater to collect fish to prepare and sell at your restaurant! Game is buggy.

Winner of the Best Replayability, Highest Fun Factor, and Most Addictive awards, as voted by my classmates.

Lethal Parlay, a game where you take bets to complete shooter levels using the mysterious Lethal Parlay website. This game is unfinished and buggy, but is still playable. Use the password to gain access to the game's download page.

The class didn't vote on awards for our 3D games, but I did get an A on that class, so that's something!
