I'm a Data Analytics student at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville and an aspiring Health Data Architect. I work by an essentialist principle — less, but better — designing data pipelines where every component earns its place.
My current work centers on Po Nou (Louisiana Creole for "for us"): a provenance-tracked relational database and ETL pipeline for Kouri Vini, the Louisiana Creole language my ancestors spoke. The project tracks every word's full lineage — its source document, historical variants, phonetic transcription, and transformation from Standard French — using the same architectural patterns that secure patient data in healthcare systems.
It also includes a Healthcare Terminology Module: medical terms, consent language, and symptom descriptions in Kouri Vini, addressing a documented gap for community health workers serving Creole-speaking patients in Louisiana.
I started it because I wanted to learn my ancestral language and the infrastructure to do that didn't exist. So I built it.

Building infrastructure for a language my ancestors spoke.
