I'm a software engineer, former educator, and hobby cosplayer; in short a lifetime learner and problem solver, with a passion for user-centered and responsive web design.

Software engineering and cosplay both require a lot of research, flexibility, and trial and error to ensure a good end result. I love being able to identify and fix a problem or at least provide guidance towards a solution.

I've worked with many different industries and technologies though I find myself most at home with the frontend in React (Typescript).

Currently looking for my next opportunity as a software engineer! Let's connect on Linkedin .

• Created and updated components, pages, and tests for SaaS RESTful website apps using React, JavaScript/Typescript, Next.js, Node.js, React Testing Library, Jest, and Material-UI, ensuring responsive and accessible components.
• Contributed to and maintained a custom UI component library used across multiple codebases, with documentation and tests for each component, which were previewed using Storybook.
• Collaborated with backend, product, and design teams to translate Figma designs and backend API contracts into frontend actionable steps in Jira tickets with documentation linking to BE tickets and prototype designs in Figma.
• Participated in the entire software development lifecycle, including design feedback, scoping, implementation, testing, and deployment of features and visual and functional bug fixes.
• Analyzed and improved code quality and testing coverage (>90%) through peer reviews, SonarCloud reports, and unit testing components throughout UX flows based on Test Driven Development (TDD).
