A unique hybrid of human-centered UX design and full-stack development. I effortlessly bridge the gap between design and engineering-guiding teams or stepping in to build end-to-end applications myself. With a decade of experience shipping enterprise products and growing teams that build with purpose.
Career Journey
Expertise
My unique strength lies in mastering both design and development. I understand codes, possess strong logical problem-solving skills, and can easily learn new languages (with a background in Angular JS, .NET, and C). This dual expertise allows me to guide developers effectively, or jump in as a full-stack engineer to build applications end-to-end.
Fully self-sufficient in modern development workflows. Highly experienced in managing source code via GitHub and Azure, raising PRs, merging repositories, and utilizing IDEs like VS Code and Visual Studio to seamlessly push code and manage deployments without requiring external dev support.
