Throughout my career, I've primarily focused on front-end work, starting with a passion ignited in ActionScript for crafting interactive code-based experiences. I spent roughly a decade in the NYC advertising industry, collaborating with exceptionally creative teams to develop dynamic, rich media content.

About five years ago, I encountered a turning point. Feeling somewhat constrained in the world of digital advertising, I took a deep dive into software engineering, to learn the underpinnings of useful and engaging applications. I'm intrigued by how things work, and felt a pull towards understanding the full-stack of development.

This path has been both humbling and rewarding. In my role at Philosophie, I prototyped landing pages for an AI education startup, and contributed to the maintenance of a library of reusable components for COOP Financial Services. Subsequently, I joined the SAGO team, a group of exceptional engineers, who patiently shared their knowledge during my time there, enhancing my skills and allowing me to contribute to the redesign of QualBoard, their flagship market research application.
