About

With a robust foundation in Informatics from the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University and Estrella Mountain Community College, I have developed a dynamic career in UI/UX design and software engineering. My recent role as a UI/UX Designer at Sciata involved enhancing platform usability through user research and prototyping with Figma. Previously, as a Software Engineer at YellowBird, I led the integration of third-party APIs and improved platform functionality using ReactJS and TypeScript. My journey began with a Web Development Internship at YellowBird, where I contributed to front-end projects and website migrations. I also gained operational experience as a Central Operations Associate at Amazon, coordinating delivery logistics. My diverse skill set includes JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and a commitment to user-centered design and development.
