Data Engineer | Web Developer | Author
With over a decade of engineering experience, I have honed my skills across a broad spectrum of technologies and industries, crafting solutions that cater to client needs while operating within unique business constraints. I bring a product-centric mindset to every project, ensuring that user needs, business goals, and technical feasibility converge to create meaningful outcomes. I thrive in cross-functional environments, bridging the gap between technical teams and stakeholders to deliver products that align with long-term strategies. Most recently, I have enabled data insights for a major media company. Previously, I've developed accessible, enterprise websites for government and nonprofit clients along with robust automated testing frameworks. My commitment to leadership and mentorship extend beyond the engineering field. I have fostered teamwork and resilience by leading an Employee Resource Group of 60+ members, promoting inclusivity and growth within the workplace by organizing company-wide educational and social events. My dedication to educating and guiding others is apparent in my work as a high school basketball coach and through storytelling workshops I have taught in schools. Additionally, my pursuits as a children’s book author reflect myt dedication to storytelling and connecting with diverse audiences in impactful ways. I am passionate about building not just products but also teams and cultures that prioritize collaboration, learning, and continuous improvement. Whether it’s designing systems, leading initiatives, or supporting colleagues, my goal is to inspire and drive meaningful progress.
