Experimental macOS security control-plane prototype — not yet an operational firewall or learning system.
A Swift-based macOS control-plane prototype built around a privileged daemon, NSXPC, transactional rule management, and atomic persistence.

View RepositoryA minimal Git implementation in Swift — repository init, staging, commits, status/log, and Git-style object storage (content-hashed blobs, trees, linked commits, refs/HEAD, optional zlib compression). Built as a Swift Package Manager executable for macOS.
View RepositoryNative SwiftUI chatbot connected to OpenAI through a local Node.js proxy, keeping the API key server-side rather than embedded in the iOS binary.
Full-stack productivity app with categories, priorities, due dates, filtering, and persisted task data.
Native SwiftUI quiz app for iOS and macOS from a shared codebase — quiz creation, multiple-choice gameplay, score tracking, attempt history, local persistence, shared scoring logic in a separate package.
Local SDXL environment for Apple Silicon using Hugging Face Diffusers and PyTorch Metal/MPS, generating images offline from terminal prompts after model download.
Reproducible setup/tooling for running GGUF models locally on Apple Silicon via upstream llama.cpp with Metal acceleration (install/build/run/troubleshoot tooling).
AI-powered applications and local-inference integrations, including model APIs, Apple Silicon workflows, and developer-facing AI tooling.
Native applications and developer tooling for macOS and iOS using Swift and SwiftUI, with an emphasis on thoughtful Apple-platform experiences and systems-oriented software.
Responsive frontend and full-stack web applications built with modern JavaScript and TypeScript technologies including React and Next.js.
I'm a developer based in Miami, Florida, working across AI, Apple platforms, systems engineering, and modern web development.
My background started in IT and computer engineering. I earned a B.S. in Information Technology from Florida International University and an A.A. in Computer Engineering from Miami Dade College, which gave me an early interest in how software, operating systems, networks, and infrastructure fit together.
That foundation, along with hands-on technical support experience, gradually led me from troubleshooting systems to building them. My work has ranged from contributing to a collaborative Web3 hackathon project to building Swift tools, native Apple applications, local-AI environments, full-stack web applications, and systems-oriented projects such as Sentra.
Today I'm focused on becoming a stronger software developer through building real projects and going deeper into AI, Apple platforms, systems engineering, and the web.
Have a project, opportunity, or an interesting problem to solve? I'm always open to talking about software, AI, Apple platforms, or new ideas.
