What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a collaborative team where I can build and improve Android apps end-to-end, contribute to high-quality releases with testing and CI, and—when useful—apply my simulation and graphics background to ship engaging digital experiences.

Graphic Designer with 5+ years experience working in Adobe Creative Suite software such Illustrator and Photoshop. Creating digital assets and design requests for clients and businesses. I bring exceptional collaborative and interpersonal skills, with well-developed written and verbal communication abilities.

Since June 2018, I’ve worked as a Freelance Graphic Designer, creating graphics for clients and businesses and collaborating directly on design requests. I’ve produced illustrative work for clients on books, portraits, and video game concept art, and I build animation projects using After Effects and Unity, plus 3ds Max.

In my Android Developer role, I developed features for existing products and built new Android Apps from scratch, working through Full Scrum meetings and the release process. I implemented fragments and navigation components from the Android SDK, and used Jenkins continuous integration and Espresso for automated testing, along with Dagger 2, Kotlin, Junit, Rx Java, and Retrofit.

Earlier, I supported quality-focused work as a QA Tester, researching commercial software, generating bug reports, and communicating status with developers using project management tools. I also built strong troubleshooting foundations as a Technical Support Agent, solving software, hardware, in-game, and network configuration issues—skills I apply to delivering reliable, polished experiences.
