Finance major.Two startups.One semester.

Finance major at the University of Wyoming, with junior standing from an associate degree I finished in high school. This fall I launched Linen on the App Store and founded Main Street Sites, building both by directing AI. I'm looking for a Summer 2027 finance internship in Colorado or Wyoming.

Linen

A minimal digital business card for iPhone. Make a card in a minute, then share it by QR code, link or NFC tag; the people you meet don't need the app. I went from first line of code to App Store submission in one week by directing AI coding agents.

Web design · Founder · Sep 2026–now

Main Street Sites

Web design for small businesses in Laramie, Cheyenne and Fort Collins. I set two pricing tiers, wrote the client agreement and built a repeatable launch process, then audited 96 local businesses' websites for mobile usability, security and speed to find the ones that need help most.

  • $1,500 Basic
  • $2,500 Growth
  • 96 businesses audited

Data analysis · 2026

RivalScope

A desktop app that compiles a competitor's estimated web traffic and the ads they run across Meta, Google, TikTok and LinkedIn into side-by-side comparisons. Traffic estimates for small sites can be off by 50–100%, so every number carries its source, and modeled estimates are labeled separately from observed data.

  • competitive intelligence
  • data quality
  • modeled vs. observed
