About

I am a hybrid technologist with a passion for design, product, and cross-functional workflows. Happiest when my efforts bring about meaningful advancements in social and environmental justice. My background is in Software Engineering and Architecture. As an engineer, my main language is Javascript. I seek engineering and product spaces that value cross-functional collaboration and design thought leadership. My recent adventures are in design systems, design tokens, micro frontends, and AI. I continue to see opportunities where software and design can be thoughtfully integrated at a human-scale. As a licensed architect, I communicated, coordinated, and delivered design initiatives and solutions in various typologies including residential, commercial/retail, educational, hospitality, and workspace. My international experience in a client-facing industry has taught me to lead and collaborate effectively among interdisciplinary teams to execute projects within budget and ahead of schedule. When I am taking a break from work, I love to cook, eat, and make art. I am also an avid traveler and lifter. Share your fave recipes or workouts!
