Throughout my career, I've primarily worked in front-end development, starting with a curiosity sparked by ActionScript as I created interactive, code-driven experiences. I spent nearly a decade in the NYC advertising industry, working with talented teams to build dynamic, rich media content.
As I spent more time in digital advertising, I felt a growing desire to understand how the broader picture of software engineering came together. This curiosity led me to explore the full stack and deepen my understanding of how engaging applications are built from the ground up.
At Philosophie, I contributed to prototyping landing pages for an AI education startup and helped develop a reusable component library for COOP Financial Services. I later joined SAGO, where I worked alongside a skilled team of engineers who guided me as I contributed to the redesign of QualBoard, their market research platform.
In 2024, I had the chance to work at Digital Citizen, where I developed high-performance websites using WordPress as a headless CMS. I worked with tools like Faust.js and WPGraphQL to deliver API-driven content to a Next.js frontend and focused on optimizing responsive code for consistent cross-device performance. This emphasis on efficient, maintainable engineering practices continued in my role at Curriculum Associates, where I helped create a library of reusable components with Next.js, React, TypeScript, and Tailwind. I also worked with a headless CMS approach (Next.js + Sitecore) to enhance flexibility and scalability across projects.
Ultimately, I enjoy collaborating with others to create engaging user experiences and finding new ways to make digital products more efficient and accessible.
