About

I build digital experiences that look great and work perfectly under the hood. Coming from a background in interactive design and full-stack Java, I bring a system-level mindset to product development. I thrive in Agile environments, collaborating cross-functionally with PMs, engineers, and stakeholders to take products from wireframes to production-ready code.

My path to engineering started in visual design and physical fabrication. However, a life-changing injury shifted my entire trajectory. Navigating the world with a disability gave me a firsthand understanding of how critical accessible design truly is. That experience drove me to code. I wanted to build helpful technology, ed-tech tools, and digital spaces that actually work for everyone.

• Full-Stack Foundation: Trained in an intensive Java program, I have a strong grasp of backend architecture, PostgreSQL, and API design. I love the logic of the backend just as much as front-end problem solving.
• Accessible & Design-Driven UI: Working with React, Vue, and modern JavaScript, my background allows me to accurately translate Figma files into strict semantic HTML. Building WCAG compliant interfaces is not an afterthought for me. It is my baseline standard.
• Proven Independence: For the past two years, I have worked as a freelance developer building projects from start to finish. My early hands-on fabrication work taught me how to troubleshoot complex systems step by step. I bring that exact mindset to every codebase.
