At Microsoft ADC, I led a staged frontend rollout of a major feature to 100% of production users and used A/B testing and feedback to refine the experience. I also helped reduce the product backlog by 70% by resolving frontend bugs.

At Zanira Clothing, I built the Next.js storefront and admin dashboard as the sole developer, integrating them with a Django REST Framework and PostgreSQL backend. I also shipped an AI sales agent for WhatsApp, the website, and Instagram that achieved a ~94% autonomous resolution rate across live customer conversations.

I built and continue to maintain Vantelee, a full-stack e-commerce site, and improved its image-heavy storefront for mobile shopping. I’m pursuing an MSc in Data Science and have applied GIS and statistical analysis in coursework.
