Hummingbird Drones

Since September 2022, my sole focus has been the Nova platform while working as a Full Stack Developer at Hummingbird Drones. I've had the incredible opportunity of transforming this platform from a proof of concept to a widely adopted industry standard.

MapLibre

Nova is a Next.js web application made for emergency response teams that use drones for data collection. Nova is used across the US and Canada, but notably, we helped the LA County Fire Department fight the LA Palisades fires in January of 2025.

Nova not only aims to provide easy mapping tools to anyone who needs them, but it's also the only platform in existence to map hotspots using machine learning.

I've worked on a ton of projects I'm super proud of for Nova, here are a few highlights:

Stripe Payments

• Integrated the Stripe API
• Added data usage tracking
• Restricted app after usage was exceeded
• Worked with Sales to accomodate their workflows

Collaborative Permissions

• Email invitations for collaborating in Nova
• Role based access for restricting actions
• Secured API routes to prevent permission breaching
• Share specific folders or projects directly

Map Layer Management

• Side Panel interface for management of map layers
• Place icons, draw lines or write text
• Group map layers for easy organization
• CRUD controls for all layer types

Personal Projects

Back in university I was super into game development and published a few small games online. I've honestly not pursued this in a while but I'm still super proud of what I've made!

A procedural maze solving game made with C# and Unity. Playable on itch.io.

My first published Unity project: a mining arcade game. Playable on itch.io.

My Blog

I have a passion for television, creative writing, and the reality show Survivor. Since 2020, I've kept a blog as an outlet to dump my thoughts. Most of it's television reviews, a lot of it's Survivor related, but I love having this time capsule to look back on.
