Nice to meet you.

I am a graduate of Carnegie Mellon University with a major in Information Systems and a minor in Human-Computer Interaction. I am heavily involved in my community because I am passionate about helping humanity and Planet Earth. I am looking to continue my career which combines my application development and user experience design skills in a way that will make a positive difference in the world.

If we met in an elevator, I would tell you...

I love to to use technology to help people, solve real-world problems, and ultimately add value. At my most recent role at CH Media, I used React, Redux and WCAG best practices to build our streaming service DROPOUT in the most efficient, intuitive and accessible way possible. In my front-end software engineering role at Trov, I honed my JavaScript skills to build technology that allows users to protect their personal items on demand. As a software engineer at Jobcase, I used my full-stack Ruby on Rails development skills to build and maintain the job search product's features within a late-stage startup organization. In my Information Systems and Human-Computer Interaction classes at Carnegie Mellon University, where I graduated with University Honors, I have learned about application design and development, crowdsourcing, programming in multiple languages, sustainable social change, the iterative design process, and multiple consulting models. At CustomInk, I gained experience in wireframing, prototyping, the Adobe Suite, interaction design, visual design, and user testing.
