My previous roles include a Product Designer stint at DOZR, where I enhanced supplier performance through automated data visualization, and a Software Engineer Intern at ResQ, where I developed a scalable onboarding platform. Additionally, I served as a Design Thinking Instructor & Program Lead at Code.X, mentoring high school students in mobile app development. My diverse experience underscores my commitment to innovative design and impactful user experiences.
