I am a UI/UX Front-End Engineer focused on enterprise-grade web applications for government and private sector clients. I specialize in modern JavaScript frameworks (React, Vue, Aurelia) with deep expertise in accessibility standards (WCAG/508) and AI-enhanced development in agile workflows. I have a proven track record of designing intuitive user experiences that improve engagement and reduce user friction. Recent highlights include leading NOAA ngenCERF application's UI/UX architecture at ASRCFederal, collaborating with data scientists and hydrologists to translate complex environmental data into accessible visual solutions for thousands of users. I designed UI in Figma, implemented responsive layouts with Tailwind, and ensured WCAG 2.1 / Section 508 compliance. I mentor junior developers, retrain teams from React to Vue, and strive to deliver clean design and maintainable UI foundations.
