What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and growth opportunities in technology-driven environments.

As an LMS Systems Administrator at Arizona State University, I have honed my skills in managing and customizing learning management systems, particularly Canvas and Blackboard. My role involves providing exceptional customer support, integrating third-party tools, and leading projects that enhance the online learning experience for faculty and students alike.

With a strong background in web application development, I have successfully developed solutions using technologies like React, AngularJS, and Django. My experience as a co-founder and UX lead at Fuzzy Bit Industries has further strengthened my ability to collaborate with diverse teams and deliver high-quality products that meet user needs.

I am passionate about leveraging technology to improve educational outcomes and am committed to continuous learning and professional growth. My technical expertise, combined with my project management skills, positions me as a valuable asset to any organization looking to innovate and enhance their digital learning environments.
