I'm a JavaScript developer with seven years of professional experience across client-facing and internal software teams. I've built and delivered complex solutions from inception to launch, and I enjoy mentoring peers and facilitating knowledge sharing to help teams improve both technically and collaboratively. I'm fascinated by how AI is reshaping the software industry and how emerging technologies can be integrated thoughtfully to enhance usability, accessibility, and more intuitive digital experiences. My goal is to work on products that use AI not just as a novelty, but as a way to meaningfully improve performance, scalability, and accessibility for both developers and end users.
