A personal portfolio of the things I'm building.
I'm an Indiana University graduate based in Indiana, with interests across business, finance, real estate, and technology. This is where I keep the projects, tools, and ideas I work on in between.
Selected work
Rent-versus-own tool · Live
Campus Equity
Live tool
A calculator for parents weighing student rent against buying near campus.
It compares what a few families spend on a premium student apartment against buying a home together instead, with the math shown behind every number and three different paths at graduation. I built it to make that decision easier to see.

Marketing system
Buydown Flyers
Property-specific flyers that lay out a temporary rate buydown next to a price cut for a given listing, so the comparison is easy to see. Illustrative, and dependent on the deal.

Outside of work
When I am not working, I am usually reading about markets or building something small. I like problems that end in a number, and I like making complicated things simple enough to act on. Most of what ends up on this site started as me trying to understand something for myself.
