Database Application
Music Database Explorer
A Flask and PostgreSQL application for exploring albums, artists, genres, subgenres, countries, scenes, and related music metadata.
Open project →Computer Science Portfolio
Building data-driven, backend-focused software with real project depth.
I’m Peyton, a Computer Science student focused on backend development, data systems, API-backed tools, and projects that connect technical structure with real user-facing experiences.
Current Focus
Applied Software Engineering
I’m building a portfolio around Flask, PostgreSQL, external APIs, JavaScript interfaces, and systems-level projects like HawkVM.
Featured Work
Projects with real structure behind them
These projects are built to show more than surface-level UI. They focus on data modeling, backend routes, API integration, interactive frontend behavior, and maintainable organization.
API + Data Analysis
NASA Data Analysis Tool
A NASA API dashboard that retrieves near-Earth object data and turns raw records into readable summaries, rankings, and paginated results.
Open project →Systems Programming
HawkVM
A small educational programming language and virtual machine written in C, focused on tokenization, parsing, and execution flow.
Open project →Technical Direction
What this portfolio is meant to show
Backend Development
Flask routes, API endpoints, server-side validation, data retrieval, and organized application structure.
Data Systems
PostgreSQL schema design, relational data, filtering, searching, and project-specific data modeling.
Interactive Frontends
Vanilla JavaScript interfaces, modals, filters, pagination, autocomplete, and clean user-facing feedback.
Systems Curiosity
Lower-level projects like HawkVM that explore how programming languages and execution logic work under the hood.
