What I Do

Data & AI Engineering at North Highland

I'm an Analyst on North Highland's Data & AI Engineering team in Dallas, Texas. I graduated from the University of Oklahoma in 2025 with a BBA and a Master of Science in Management of Information Technology.

I work across data engineering, analytics, and AI to build end-to-end solutions for client problems. That includes structuring data in Snowflake and semantic models, building analytics layers in Power BI and DAX, and working on AI use cases with tools like Claude.

A lot of the work starts messy. Incomplete data, unclear requirements, too many moving parts. That's usually where I do my best work. I like taking unstructured problems, learning whatever I need to learn, and pushing until there's something useful on the other side.

Building Final Weapon

I started Final Weapon when I was 16. I was reading a lot of English coverage around Japanese games and kept running into the same problem: too much clickbait, not enough depth, and not much that felt made for people who actually followed the space.

So I built the kind of outlet I wanted to read. Final Weapon launched in 2019 and grew into a Metacritic-listed publication with more than 10 million lifetime views. I still lead both the editorial and video sides day to day, from planning coverage and publishing stories to managing contributors and shaping where the brand goes next.

It has also opened a lot of doors. I've worked with major publishers and developers, built long-term relationships across the industry, and covered events like Summer Game Fest and The Game Awards. More than anything, Final Weapon taught me how to build something over time and keep making it better as it grows.

Off the Clock

There's more to life than dashboards

Hover to pause

A lot of my life outside work still circles back to the things I care about most: games, travel, college football, and time with the people closest to me. What I value most is getting to stay close to the things that keep me curious, whether that's seeing a new place, meeting new people, or just making memories with people I care about. That's usually where the next idea comes from.

Let's talk.

Analytics, editorial, or something else entirely — I'm always open to meeting curious people.
