I'm a Software Engineer with strong skills in UI Engineering.
I primarily specialize in React, Typescript, and Redux, but I am always open to learn new technology stacks. Even this current site is built in Vue!
Although I am primarily a UI engineer, I definitely do want to expand my skillset to something more than just UI
Feel free to look at my resume here (printable version), but here is a small blurb of my background:
I received my B.S. in Kinesiology - Exercise Science at California State University, Long Beach, hoping to become a Physical Therapist. In my last semester, I made a last minute decision to not pursue it anymore. So I worked for about a year at a Medical Device company as a Regulatory Affairs Analyst. While working there, I had some friends convince me to consider going into software, so I started studying.
After that job, I attended LearningFuze, an accelerated coding bootcamp. Shortly finishing the bootcamp, I was offered a role at a Tax Automation Software company called SurePrep. There is where I solidifed myself as a Software Engineer.
At SurePrep, I worked on the UI for TaxCaddy - an interface that allows CPAs and Consumers to communicate and transfer documents. Essentially, a tool that helps CPAs and Consumers do taxes. Since the API was housed off-shore, I gained and immense knowledge of React and Web practices as well as Agile Methedologies and cross-team workflows.
After a little over two years at SurePrep, I changed jobs and received an offer for Amazon and Facebook. Between the two, I decided to go to Facebook.
I spent about two years at Facebook (now Meta), working Ads Experiments, Facebook Groups, and an internal tool monitoring server capacity.
After my time there, I decided to go from the biggest of big to the smallest of small, where I worked at a early stage startup called Presta. I was employee #6.
My time there was a great experience and I felt that wearing many hats at Meta prepared me for the startup life.
I decided after the startup to get back into a larger tech company, Docusign, where I work now.
