What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration, encourages innovation, and offers opportunities for growth in product management and UX design.

I am a creative and strategic product leader with a robust background in software development, UX/UI design, and cross-functional project management. My expertise lies in driving the end-to-end design process for digital products, ensuring user-centered solutions through rapid prototyping, research, and iterative design. I thrive in collaborative environments, working closely with stakeholders across engineering, product management, and executive leadership to define product vision and create intuitive, impactful user experiences.

Throughout my career, I have successfully navigated ambiguity and fostered team collaboration, contributing to scalable design systems. My recent role as a Software Developer at Samaritan Ministries International has allowed me to leverage my skills in Figma, React, and Agile methodologies to deliver user-focused digital solutions. Additionally, my experience as an Adjunct Instructor has enabled me to develop engaging curriculum focused on user experience and technical problem-solving, further enhancing my ability to communicate complex concepts effectively.
