Frontend
Engineer &
UX Researcher

I'm a frontend engineer and UX researcher who builds accessible web applications using React and TypeScript. With three years of research experience and an MS in Human-Centered Computing, I approach engineering through the lens of the people who'll actually use what I build.

In practice, this means I can conduct user interviews to understand needs, perform usability testing to validate designs, and then implement the solution with attention to accessibility and performance. I've applied this approach across projects ranging from medical imaging data pipelines to interactive data visualizations to ADHD productivity tools.

I came to software engineering by way of English literature and a behavioral classroom. I started with a BA in English, spent two years as a special education para-educator, and returned to school for computer science. That background—literature, education, and human-centered computing—taught me to translate between stakeholders and see problems from multiple perspectives. When I'm not working, I spend most of my time outside—running, hiking, camping, and skiing—and read broadly across psychology, literature, and history. That breadth tends to show up in my work in ways I don't always expect.

I graduated with my MS in Human-Centered Computing in May 2025 and am actively seeking opportunities where engineering depth and human context matter equally. I'm most excited about work that lives in the gray areas—early-stage ideas, research-heavy systems, or complex domains where requirements aren't obvious and software has real consequences for the people using it. I work best on teams that value curiosity, ownership, and thoughtful collaboration over rigid process.

If you're building software that needs to be reliable, human-centered, and grounded in real-world use, I'd love to talk.
