My story

From watching my dad work on computers when I was a kid, I cultivated a passion and curiosity for technology which led me to teach myself how to code in middle school. Though I ended up studying Business Information Systems, I wanted to use my coding skills to build products and found my niche in front-end development.

Starting out

I started my career at Boeing as a web developer and was given the opportunity to redesign an enterprise website on mobile communications. Through this project, I updated the front-end framework and rebuilt the user interface to help employees locate and consume critical content. While the overhaul led to increased user engagement and fewer help desk calls, the biggest impact for me was on a personal level. It showed me the power of understanding the user and how employing thoughtful design and well-written code could solve real needs.

Since then, I've continued building products across fintech, travel, and e-commerce, partnering with Product, Design, and Data in cross-functional teams. I've led initiatives, shaped cross-team architectures, and worked across the stack to solve complex product problems. Outside of work, I use side projects to sharpen my skills, experiment with new technologies and ideas, and explore different parts of the product-building process. Recently, I've been building Sanbi as a chance to work full-stack, wear many hats, and have fun building a user-tested solution to a problem a friend brought to me.

At the end of the day

While I love what I do, I know life is more than just work, and I make time to relax and recharge. Outside of work, you can find me working through a never-ending collection of photos waiting to be edited, playing golf, supporting LFC (YNWA), try-harding at board games with friends, listening to a sci-fi or action audiobook, or occasionally DJing a wedding.
