I shifted my programming focus toward Python, spending most of my free time learning its fundamentals.

I started applying the Python fundamentals I'd learned by building tools for a former colleague at Perimeter Aviation. The first version was a GUI application built with Tkinter that lets users upload a CSV file and automatically generate a cleaned, organized Excel report.

Toward the end of 2024, I picked up Django, PostgreSQL, and SQLite, and rebuilt that tool as a full web application, adding better SLA tracking, Airway Bill monitoring, and priority visibility.

In early 2024, I started learning FastAPI and the fundamentals of REST API design. Later on in the year, a friend referred me to a few clients who needed help aggregating and extracting sportsbook odds. I built a set of bots that pulled odds from multiple sportsbooks, and packaged the results into a FastAPI service (DifferentOdds API V1), along with a comparison website that lined up esports and soccer odds side by side across sportsbooks. Along the way, I picked up Celery and Redis so odds data could be cached ahead of time, letting an endpoint return results instantly instead of waiting on a live sportsbook request every time it was called.

I rebuilt my FastAPI service into a faster, more robust v2, adding a Same Game Parlay engine that compares thousands of parlay combinations across 8+ sportsbooks in real time and automatically flags the ones with the strongest value, alongside several other client projects in the sportsbook automation space.

I also rebuilt my earlier cargo tracking web app from the ground up as CargoReporter, a more robust version with duplicate AWB detection, a dedicated view for AWBs still outstanding under 30 hours, sent/not-sent status tracking, and a scanner that lets staff type in or scan an AWB's QR code to log it against its destination, along with client and freighter management.

I also joined Flair Airlines as a Developer / Technical Dispatcher, where I built an internal full-stack dispatch platform handling shift handovers, RBN tracking, dispatcher training records, and historical data and reporting, along with a custom middleware layer bridging REST and SOAP services into one synchronized system, and automated scripts that track FAA EDCT and advisory alerts and fuel-savings and passenger-load insights.
