LinkPop is a small menu-based utility application that I developed using SwiftUI. The purpose of the app is to provide quick access to specific web URLs that are commonly used as part of a day-to-day workflow. For instance, I use it at my current company during bug scrubs, allowing me to quickly access bug databases filtered by specific upcoming target milestones or assigned engineers.

TroveTrak is a mobile app designed to solve the problem of organizing and tracking art and hobby collections, along with their costs and potential sales prices and profits. It solves the problem of tax compliance for occasional sales of hobby items. It was developed during my graduate Agile Project Management class, as I demonstrated skills in agile project management and scrum best practices.

My work resulted in a request from the professor to share my project, who stated, "Would you be open to me sharing your work with the class as an excellent example?"

I worked closely with a Texas State professor to start up a new graduate student organization with the goal of providing avenues for students to gain professional certifications through partnerships with certification providers such as DataCamp. I helped build the initial roster of members to 15 graduate students. I tabled our organization at a Texas State event, did outreach to students, and developed our marketing materials. I've since stepped back from the president role to focus on completion of my final semester of the MBA program, but I still assist in creating event market materials (such as a recent flyer for an event in partnership with uCertify and the Associate Dean for Graduate Programs - McCoy College of Business).

In Fall 2023, I led a team of MBA students in developing a comprehensive 53-page report analyzing the operations of Dutch Bros Coffee. Our primary strategic recommendation was for Dutch Bros to introduce a protein boost product line to their menu. Interestingly, the following year (January 3, 2024), Dutch Bros launched a protein coffee option, allowing customers to add a protein boost through protein milk to any coffee. While this market development aligned with our recommendation, it was unrelated to our class project and served as an independent validation of our strategic insight.

For my capstone project in the Applied Arts and Sciences degree program at Texas State, I led a team of four in the creation of a research-backed workbook designed for businesses to facilitate a 4-hour workshop aimed at enhancing employee motivation. This comprehensive workbook is divided into four key sections: Mental Health and Wellness, Employee Career Development (which I personally researched and developed), Workplace Culture and Transparency, and Leadership Styles and Engagement. Each section includes targeted exercises and reflective activities to help employees explore and improve their motivation, ultimately fostering a more engaged and productive workplace environment.

My work resulted in a recommendation letter from the course professor, who stated, "He led his team to deliver the most professional, impressive, and comprehensive plan I have seen, and I asked if they would let me share it with future classes. He possesses some of the most impressive writing and speaking skills I have observed in my time at Texas State."
