UX Researcher / Software Developer
With a strong foundation in Information Management and User Experience from the University of Washington Information School, I am a seasoned UX Researcher and Software Developer. My career at Pluto VR involved creating visualizations to enhance customer flow processes and leading internationalization efforts to support a global audience. I have a proven track record in software development, having shipped key Travis CI functionality that significantly improved efficiency. My technical expertise includes Javascript, Aurelia, Node, Mocha, and Chai. Prior to Pluto VR, I honed my skills at Ada Developers Academy, mastering Ruby/Rails and Javascript in an agile environment. My diverse experience also includes roles at Garden City Group, LLC, Monterey County Elections, and Invisible Children Inc., where I developed project management and customer support skills. I hold a BA in European Studies from UC Irvine and have studied at Sciences Po Grenoble.
