What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters creativity and innovation, where I can contribute to impactful projects and grow my skills in a collaborative environment.

I am a Front-End Developer with a strong engineering background, specializing in JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and API integrations. My passion lies in creating scalable, user-friendly applications that adhere to best practices in accessibility and performance. I leverage my engineering mindset to optimize usability and maintainability, ensuring that every project I undertake is built on clean, modular code.

During my time at Google, I led the optimization of health sensing technology for the Pixel Watch, achieving a 43% reduction in missed sensor readings. My experience also includes developing a Python/Tkinter based GUI for real-time sensor data visualization. I have collaborated with cross-functional teams to enhance user experience and data visualization, demonstrating my ability to work effectively in diverse environments.

My projects, such as the Smart Spoon meal planning app, showcase my commitment to user-centric design and performance optimization. I am dedicated to continuous learning and improvement, always seeking to enhance my skills and contribute to innovative solutions in the tech industry.
