Recent UC Davis CS grad with a strong track record of building products from a playlist queuing app using the Spotify API, to an internal project tracker deployed on AWS, to a medical image classifier built with PyTorch.

Remote: Yes, but open to onsite Technologies: JavaScript, html/css, Vue, Figma, Interface Design.

Hybrid designer-engineer with 4+ years in product design (Phitaal, Precedence). At Phitaal , I redesigned their client portal and build a design system which I helped implement. At Precedence, I helped restructure an overly complex ai toolbox to truly give their consultants ai capabilities.

I’m currently building a top secret ai document editor in a small team where I’m both interface designer and frontend developer. I bring strong UI craft and code together.

Looking for a 4day/week role on a small, product-driven team where delivering value matters more than staying in strict role lanes.
