What I'm looking for

I'm looking to contribute high-quality, user-centric code to a team that values usability, accessibility, UX strategy, and end-to-end product development.

I've architected and evolved MathTrack Institute's production SaaS platform as its sole engineer, integrating LMS, CMS, SIS, EMS, and evaluation capabilities. I take products from discovery and user research through interaction design and production implementation using React, TypeScript, Node.js, Express, PostgreSQL, and Heroku.

Previously, I led UX for digital whiteboard and student data visualization products at XR Technologies, shaping product direction through research, workshops, and usability testing. I care deeply about accessible, user-centered interfaces and have automated workflows that reduce administrative effort while improving usability.
