I bring an athlete's discipline to everything I build.

Summa Cum Laude Economics graduate of Rollins College, NCAA Division II tennis captain, and a self-taught web developer. Based between Florida and Austria — open to roles and collaborations and ready for what's next.

Graduate

In May 2026 I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida, earning a B.A. in Economics with minors in Data Analytics and Business Management — completing the full degree in just three years, with no prior credit.

As captain of the Rollins Men's Tennis Team, I competed at the NCAA Division II level while learning that peak performance takes more than talent: it takes discipline, strategy, and the composure to execute under pressure. Those principles shape how I approach every problem.

As an international student, I've built a habit of adapting fast and thinking across cultures. I pair the analytical rigor of economics, the precision of data, and the creativity of building for the web — and I treat the work like something I genuinely love, because I do.

02 — What's Next

The next chapter.

Three things I'm building toward right now — across coaching, real estate, and graduate business.

01 In progress

PTR Level 1 Certification

Earning my Professional Tennis Registry coaching certification — formalizing years of competitive and coaching experience on the court.

02 By early fall

Florida Real Estate License

Completing my Florida real estate licensing, adding a market-facing, client-driven skill set to my economics and analytics background.

03 Starting January

Crummer STEM MBA

Beginning the STEM-designated MBA at Rollins' Crummer Graduate School of Business — and returning to the men's tennis team as captain for one final season alongside my graduate studies.

03 — Selected Work

Sites I've designed & built.

Building for the web is the thing I keep coming back to — designing the layout, writing the markup, and shipping something that's fast, clean, and genuinely good to use. Two live sites plus two client demos — each one a completely different design.

Interactive · Demo

Something I built to play with.

Beyond static sites, I like building interactive tools. Here's a live investment allocation model — the kind of analysis I'd normally write in R, running entirely in the browser. Adjust the inputs and watch it recalculate.

Assumptions (illustrative): annual expected returns of stocks 7%, bonds 3%, cash 1.5%, alternatives 5%, compounded monthly. The shaded band reflects a simplified volatility range and assumes no correlation between assets. Real markets behave differently.
This is an educational illustration, not financial advice. It does not account for fees, taxes, inflation, or personal circumstances, and projected returns are not guaranteed.

06 — On the Court

The athlete's mindset.

Competing at the collegiate level taught me lessons that reach far beyond the baseline. As captain, I learned to lead, to prepare relentlessly, and to deliver when the moment is biggest — and I'll be back to lead the Rollins men's team as captain for one final season during my STEM MBA.

That same discipline carries straight into my work — I show up with the preparation, focus, and commitment to excellence I bring to every match.

Tennis, by the numbers.

A probability lab that pairs the player's instinct with the analyst's toolkit. See how a small per-point edge compounds across a match, then simulate thousands of tiebreaks to watch how they really play out.

The edge
Why this matters: tennis scoring magnifies small advantages. Winning just over half your points can translate into winning the overwhelming majority of matches. Slide the input and watch the gap open up.

Monte Carlo method: each tiebreak is played out point by point with correct serve rotation, repeated thousands of times. The win rates and the score distribution emerge from the simulation itself rather than from a formula.
