Vietnam: House Construction
Built housing with the White Thai community. Lived on-site with residents, coordinated daily tasks, and delivered work on schedule.
Full-stack engineer with a backend bias. I build data-intensive products across the full stack, from infrastructure and data pipelines to the interfaces that make complex data understandable to someone who isn't a data engineer. Founder and sole engineer behind Density-Delta, a tiered SaaS delivering forensic real estate intelligence for the Dubai property market backed by 1.6M+ transaction records. Also building GAAP Sentinel, a forensic accounting tool that ingests SEC filings for 900K+ public companies and detects fraud signals through taxonomy drift across reporting periods. M.S. in Cybersecurity & Data Analytics (3.95 GPA) from Champlain College, on top of a B.S. in Computer Science & Mathematics from Santa Clara University. Born in South Africa, raised in Dubai, educated in California and Vermont. Based in Lisbon.

Adaptive learning platform that aggregates GRE vocabulary from past papers, ETS prep guides, and online prep sites. Custom scraping pipeline deduplicates and normalises 500+ high-probability words into personalised 'Word Packs' using a spaced-repetition algorithm. Three study modes (flashcard, multiple choice, free-type) with typo-tolerant answer checking and per-session progress tracking. Scaled to 8,000+ monthly active users with 5,000+ returning users during exam season.

Forensic accounting tool that ingests SEC EDGAR filings for 900K+ public companies and flags accounting anomalies by tracking US-GAAP taxonomy tags across reporting periods. The detection logic: if a company changes how it classifies the same metric across periods (e.g., reclassifying an operating expense as a capital expenditure), the system flags it as a potential manipulation signal.
Selected MS Cybersecurity research projects from Champlain College.
Technical guide for mitigating the Intel Management Engine chip through three strategies: outright disable, firmware overwrite, or isolation via custom network modules that block all outbound ME traffic at the device level, even when the chip remains active.
Open-source password manager design covering client-side encryption and server-side opaque storage. All encryption and decryption happen on the client device. Server stores only opaque encrypted vault blobs, requiring zero trust in the server and ensuring it can never read user secrets even under compromise.

Avid golfer. Spent years volunteering to coach youth lessons at the Butch Harmon School of Golf in Dubai before college. A good round on a warm afternoon is one of my favourite ways to spend a day.

Politics, Macroeconomics, Systems
Genuinely curious about how the world works. I follow politics, macroeconomics, and current events closely as I want to understand the world as a system, not just disconnected headlines. Some of my favourite conversations are about what's actually happening out there.
Open to the right backend or full-stack engineering role at a product company. Lisbon-based, prefer hybrid or on-site, also open to remote within the EU. Density-Delta keeps me busy; I'd hear out anything genuinely interesting.
