My Story

My professional journey has been an exciting transformation of skills and passions. It began at Chevron, where I spent 7 years as a Drilling Engineer while running a successful graphic design business on the side.

In January 2019, I fully embraced my love for design and problem solving and joined Dartmouth College to take on Frontend Engineering tasks. I was drawn to Frontend Engineering because it is a perfect fusion of my design and web development interests.

My enthusiasm for web development grew and in August 2022, I embarked on a new adventure at BlueChip Financial as a Frontend Engineer. Here, I have the pleasure of designing and building software using modern web technologies like React and TypeScript to enrich the lives of our users.

Every step of this journey has been purposeful, propelling me towards a fulfilling career where I can combine my passion for design with my technical expertise in Frontend Engineering. I'm eager to embrace new challenges and continue making a positive impact on people through delightful software that is a joy to use.
