Background

I am a Finance student at the University of Kansas, pursuing a B.S. Finance (anticipated Spring 2026). My work sits at the intersection of AI, finance, and post-quantum security — building systems that help organizations model investments and prepare for quantum-era threats.

Professional Focus

My work spans two fronts: building AI systems for financial modeling, and advancing post-quantum cryptography for organizations preparing for quantum-era threats.

As an Advisor to QSPARC Labs, I support adoption of the CHN cryptosystem—a code-based cryptographic framework engineered for long-horizon security and practical deployment, with an emphasis on verifiable security, side-channel resilience, and interoperability.

At Alcove Development, I build AI-powered financial modeling tools using Python and reasoning models—systems that enable dynamic scenario analysis and investor-grade accuracy across multi-million dollar deal pipelines.

Through Yimby Enterprise Systems, I deliver custom AI systems and automation for businesses. I also publish equity research as a Yahoo Finance Featured Analyst, covering DCF valuations and investment theses for publicly traded companies.

Career Journey

I attended the University of Kansas, studying Finance at the School of Business. My professional journey began with Naig Landscaping, a business I co-founded and operated from 2020 to 2022, before transitioning into construction as a Project Engineer at Brinkmann Constructors and inside sales at Century Building Solutions.

My growing interest in finance led me to roles at Alcove Development and Triad Bank, where I developed financial models and performed debt analysis. Today, my work sits at the intersection of finance and technology, building AI-powered systems that automate routine tasks and enable professionals to concentrate on strategic outcomes.

Personal Interests

Away from the spreadsheets, I'm usually in the kitchen — keeping a sourdough starter alive and adding to the cookbook on this site, a running record of the recipes I actually make. Before finance, I spent my summers running a landscaping business and working construction sites, and I still like building things with my hands — welding most of all. There's something clarifying about work where the result either holds together or it doesn't.
