Hi there, welcome to my portfolio! I'm a software engineer who builds web apps that look great and feel great to use.
About me 🎨
I'm a software engineer who specializes in the front-end side of things, with plenty of experience handling the data and logic underneath. I love the puzzle of turning complex ideas into clean, responsive web applications that feel smooth to interact with.
I'm currently working as a full-stack engineer for the USPIS, using React and TypeScript on the frontend and C# .NET on the backend, helping migrate over legacy processes into more efficient, modern applications. Before that, I was a frontend engineer for several years at Casebook PBC, a company that builds case management software for human services agencies.
Outside of building web apps, you'll usually find me caught up in a book, playing video games, or struggling to keep my houseplants alive. Feel free to reach out if you want to chat!

Experience 📁
- Architected and built a self-assessment application from scratch using React and TypeScript on the frontend with a C# .NET backend. This app digitized and replaced a legacy, Excel-driven tracking process for inspectors.
- Implemented the team's first front-end testing pipeline using Jest and React Testing Library, to ensure long-term application stability.
- Refactored legacy code patterns in several applications into modular TypeScript components, improving codebase maintainability and application performance.
- Developed and maintained the design system for the Casebook platform, creating new components and refining existing ones using React, TypeScript, and MaterialUI.
- Enhanced the Casebook platform by building new features and improving existing functionality with React and TypeScript. Leveraged GraphQL for API upgrades and ongoing maintenance.
- Used Jest and React Testing Library for unit testing and Cypress for end-to-end testing, working with the engineering team to guarantee thorough testing and high-quality code.
- Led several full-stack projects from start to finish, collaborating with team members to ensure seamless integration and the delivery of effective solutions.
- Instructed students in Python and Java programming languages, guiding them through foundational to advanced concepts to prepare them for further education.
- Created and developed lesson plans tailored to students' academic needs, ensuring comprehensive coverage of key programming principles.
- Facilitated students' understanding of algorithms, data structures, and object-oriented programming by helping them implement their own projects.
- Provided hands-on debugging support and constructive feedback on students' code, focusing on improving their problem-solving skills and coding practices.
Education 🎓
BA - Computer Science & Mathematics
- GPA: 3.5+
- Senior Project: Researched the connection between mathematics and art, with a focus on the works of artist M.C. Escher. Developed a web application using p5.js that enabled users to produce tessellation-inspired drawings. Presented at the SUNY Undergraduate Research Conference (SURC) 2017, showcasing the project's impact and relevance.
- Minor in Visual Arts. Coursework included drawing, painting, and sculpture, which has influenced my approach to design and aesthetics in web development.
