Bio

Hi, I'm Ross — a North Carolina native who's spent the better half of his life on the west coast. From Alaska to San Diego and everywhere in between, after a decade of service in the U.S. Coast Guard, I went back to school and fell back in love with learning.

AI/ML Engineering candidate currently enrolled in graduate training (Quantic MSAIE, in progress) with hands-on full-stack development experience building AI-assisted web applications, AI Agents in the service of technical documentation.

I leverage my electronics and tech writing backgrounds to clarify process needs and harness LLMs providing elegant solutions through dynamic problem solving.

Things I've built

Café Fausse

Full-Stack Restaurant Reservation Platform · Independent Project, 2025

Shipped

A full-stack reservation platform designed and built end-to-end — React front end, Flask REST API back end, and a PostgreSQL relational database — with real-time availability checks, automated table assignment across a 30-table inventory, and booking confirmation/error handling. Includes a responsive, cross-browser interface with a validated email-newsletter signup flow. Designed, built, tested, and documented using agentic, AI-assisted development practices with Claude Code, including a full Software Requirements Specification and deployment README.
