I’m a frontend-focused software developer specializing in React, JavaScript, and accessible UI. I thrive in hybrid teams and leverage async collaboration tools like GitHub, Jira, and Teams to deliver high-quality features on schedule. As an SME for React.js and Razor Pages, I mentor teammates and drive adoption of modern frameworks. At UT El Paso, I modernized internal applications with ASP.NET and React, contributed to automated testing with Playwright, and prioritized ADA-compliant user experiences. I also have experience teaching and collaborating with cross-functional teams; I spend a quarter of development time on UI testing and accessibility to ensure broad usability.
