What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative engineering role building user-centered web applications where I can contribute across front- and back-end development, mentor peers, and improve product and team workflows.

I am a full-stack developer with hands-on experience building and launching web applications using React, JavaScript, MongoDB, CSS, and CMS platforms. I have delivered client-focused solutions across SMBs and nonprofit projects, translating Figma designs into performant interfaces and creating maintainable backends while collaborating with designers, engineers, and stakeholders.

I was selected for a competitive software engineering fellowship emphasizing system design and peer mentorship and have driven improvements in team workflows, documentation, and deployment. My background also includes operations and document management roles where I developed strong organizational, communication, and client-facing skills that help me bridge technical work with business needs.
