Work Experience

iOS App Developer at National Technical Institute for the Deaf (NTID), Rochester, NY
June 1, 2023 - May 1, 2024
Designed an iOS learning app in SwiftUI using MVVM, improving student completion rates by 48% through structured modules with ASL-integrated multimedia lessons. Integrated AVKit and UIKit for smooth interactive playback, reducing frame drops and enhancing accessibility via VoiceOver and Dynamic Type. Reduced post-launch defects by 35% through comprehensive pre-release testing focused on crash scenarios and performance on low-memory devices. Applied TestFlight analytics to iterate UI design, increasing session retention by 32% across two release cycles. Optimized asynchronous media loading and caching to improve startup time by 25% while maintaining responsive controls across iPhone and iPad. Collaborated with instructional designers to align UI with learning objectives and accessibility standards.
Student Research and Media Content Assistant at National Technical Institute for the Deaf (NTID), Rochester, NY
January 1, 2023 - May 1, 2023
Developed HTML5/CSS/JS web pages for the World Around You initiative, improving page engagement. Produced ASL multimedia lessons with synchronized captions, increasing comprehension metrics among new learners. Built a Swift-based tool automating subtitle synchronization, reducing editing time and standardizing final output quality. Analyzed web analytics to restructure content flow, cutting bounce rate while improving content discoverability. Collaborated with content teams to implement consistent accessibility and formatting standards across the platform. Ensured each published module passed internal quality reviews for accuracy, accessibility, and clarity before release.
