What I do

Front-End Development

I start with planning and iterating a site's structure and layout. Once the proper information architecture is in place, I design the visual layer to create a beautiful user experience. Using HTML, CSS, Javascript, and React, I build out the visual components of a website and create fast, interactive websites. This also may include a CMS, API's, or other integrations.

Full Stack Applications

I work with both the front and back ends of websites and applications and can tackle projects that involve SQL and NoSQL databases, UI, development frameworks, server-side code, integration to other systems, and quality assurance. I develop, test, and deploy secure, responsive applications with JavaScript, React, Node.js, Python, Perl, Java and other languages, frameworks and libraries.

E-Commerce Solutions

I develop, integrate, and customize e-commerce sites and platforms to help clients sell services, products, and subscriptions. I bring years of experience in front and backend development, management of e-commerce websites using CMS, and improving conversion and functionality. Well-versed in Shopify and WordPress development, and best practices around SEO and conversion optimization.

Who I am

Texas-based Software Engineer

I'm a Software Engineer/Full Stack Developer with 5 years of experience and a BS degree in Software Engineering. I bring a technical skillset including HTML+CSS, JavaScript, React JS, Node.js, C++, Perl, Python, Java, SQL, and a passion for building modern and scalable websites and applications. Productive in both team-based and self-managed environments with a successful track record in delivering multiple projects in parallel. Passionate about delighting users, code quality, maintainability, and performance.

A few fun facts about me: Lived and worked in 10 countries on 5 continents. Once upon a time, I left my life in Japan and went to Ghana on a one-way ticket with no job, no plan, and zero contacts. Running, meditation and jjimjilbang keep me going at 100%. Former international hip hop-reggae-dancehall DJ. Obsessed with books on behavioral sciences, economics, technology, and cybersecurity.

Things I'm passionate about: sustainable & clean living, financial literacy, and bringing more women into tech.
