What I'm looking for

I seek a full‑stack role where I can lead technical initiatives, work on scalable systems, use data to inform product decisions, and grow into engineering leadership.

I am a software developer with 4+ years of experience designing, building, and optimizing scalable applications across nonprofit, startup, and academic projects. I specialize in React.js and Node.js and focus on delivering reliable solutions that enhance performance, accessibility, and user experience.

At The Arlington Institute I optimized core web platforms, reducing downtime by 25% and improving load speed by 40%, and I built digital research tools that cut manual processing time by 60%. I also designed interactive visualizations that increased report readership by 25%.

As Lead Full‑Stack Developer at Safe Space I led the end‑to‑end launch of the web platform, drove a 289% revenue increase in the first month, managed a team of three, and built a Node.js/Express + MongoDB backend handling 10k+ monthly active users with zero downtime. I continually prioritize data‑driven decisions by integrating analytics and reporting dashboards.

I have freelance experience leading large‑scale automation and data projects under NDA, improving deployment speed and reducing system errors, and I contribute to community initiatives such as digital literacy training. I seek roles where I can apply my full‑stack expertise to solve real‑world problems and scale product impact.
