I spent ten years laying brick.Now I build data tools for public safety.

I’m the Technology Director at Under The Helmet Riders Foundation, a cybersecurity student and an enthusiastic AI tinkerer. I build with AI as a co-pilot and test like it owes me money.

Featured work

The UTH Public Safety Dashboard

An interactive dashboard that puts homicides, firearm deaths, overdoses, poverty and food access side by side for five Illinois communities.

I work with the foundation’s leadership, including Antaeus, on which datasets, features and public safety topics go into the dashboard. I handle the technical development.

Illinois communities compared side by side: 5
Counties on the statewide map: 102
Views: trends, maps, food access, rider safety: 7

Statewide map of Illinois with circles sized by 2024 overdose deaths per county, and measure and year buttons above the map. — Statewide map. Switch the measure and year; the five focus counties are outlined.

Line chart of homicides, firearm deaths and overdose deaths in Cook County from 2019 to 2024, with buttons to pick a community. — Community trends for Chicago (Cook County).

Grouped bar chart and table comparing firearm deaths, homicides and drug overdose deaths per 100,000 people across the five communities. — Rates per 100,000, so communities of very different sizes can be compared fairly.

Map of Cook County census tracts, with tracts that are both low income and far from a supermarket highlighted in orange. — Food access by census tract, from the USDA Food Access Research Atlas.

What I work on

Three areas that keep overlapping

They started as separate interests. In practice they feed each other: the security mindset shapes how I build, and AI is how I build faster.

The short version

From the trade to tech

Ten years in the trade, a serious motorcycle accident in 2024, and a love of video games that turned into Python, then AI. The whole story, plus school, work and my AI lab, is on the About page.
