About
My first time programming was when my high school introduced me to Scratch during an annual Hour of Code back in 2012. Not long after, I took a course in Java and the rest was history! Since then, I've made a horde-style brawler game in Unity for my capstone, graduated with a Bachelor's of Science in Computer Science, and worked for three (3) years as a Web software engineer at Meta.
I started as a backend programmer, learning Java, C++, Python, and C# in school. Entering the workforce, I pivoted to Web development, and I love fiddling with web technologies and transforming them into user experiences.
After learning React and GraphQL at Meta, I self-taught TypeScript, Amazon Web Services (AWS), server-side rendering, and many different styling methods.
After Meta, I was a full-stack web engineer at McDonald's Corporation from May 2024 through October 2025, working on a configuration platform and global deal engines for kiosk and mobile experiences in Europe—GraphQL, Apollo, NestJS, and React on high-volume consumer surfaces. I then joined Coinbase as a software engineer on the design systems team (CDS), contributing shared React and React Native UI across consumer, logged-out, and public surfaces through May 2026.
When I'm not coding, however, I love kayaking, hiking, singing karaoke, and playing video games! I am very into science fiction and fantasy, and love a good happy hour and DnD session.
Experience
Software Engineer (Design Systems) at Coinbase
Design systems engineer on the Coinbase Design System (CDS), shipping shared React and React Native UI across consumer, logged-out, and public surfaces—including cds.coinbase.com. Contributed to the CDS v8 migration toward React 19 and the React Native New Architecture, with emphasis on performance, accessibility, and Linaria-based styling. Built data-visualization and motion patterns for financial dashboards and raised quality with Storybook, Percy, and E2E tests alongside daily design partnership in Figma. Coinbase was my first role with sustained agentic delivery: personal agents for bugs and small tasks, planning feature implementations and delegating testing to subagents, and Cursor Skills so designers could prototype CDS in AI without needing to know how to write in React.
