ABOUT ME

I’ve always had my head up in the clouds

I wear all the hats I can, from emergency medical technician to culinary student, and strive to go all the way in anything I commit myself to. In my work, that translates to flexibility under pressure and creative technical solutions that makes me well-suited for both interpersonal and technical demands.

When I’m not at my keyboard, I love to be a shameless amateur in my ever-changing interests and to work with my hands :)

EXPERIENCE

Though I’m currently on a gap year (May ‘24 - Aug ‘25), I’m a student at Georgetown University working on my B.Sc. in Computer Science and minors in Cognitive Science and Science, Technology, and International Affairs (STIA). There, I’ve honed my skills in advanced programming, data structures, and user-focused product development. From redesigning scalable React applications to leading high-impact projects for clients through Georgetown’s premier software development club, I thrive at the intersection of technology, design, and collaboration.

Outside the classroom, I’ve built full-stack applications, led cross-functional teams, and shaped product strategies to bring innovative ideas to life. Whether it’s crafting scalable platforms with React and Firebase or designing intuitive interfaces and data-driven models, I thrive on solving complex problems where technology and design meet.

There’s still so much to learn, but here’s a little of how far I’ve come since I’ve started:

As a Product Management and Software Engineering Intern at KeepUp, I redesigned and scaled the company’s React-based MVP, making impactful contributions in a fast-paced startup environment where I shaped key technical and product decisions.

In collaboration with stakeholders, I developed user-focused prototypes and delivered features that emphasized usability, performance, and maintainability.

IMPACT

  • Conducted in-depth user research to identify usability challenges and prioritized features that increased user satisfaction and engagement.
  • Refactored the React app’s architecture, implementing modular design principles to develop a table-based layout for scalability and improved functionality.
  • Delivered high-quality, maintainable full-stack features that optimized app performance while meeting business objectives.
  • Collaborated with cross-functional teams to create high-fidelity Figma prototypes that balanced user needs with technical constraints.
