ABOUT ME
React Native mentor for debugging, state, and app architecture
React Native mentor for debugging, state, and app architecture

All my efforts shine when there's a problem to solve, that's why I love software engineering. I work in an industry where a lot of great minds join to solve bigger problems. Earlier in my career, I have been very frontend-focused, but that has shifted as I progress futher. When leaning to the backend side, I have become most proficient in Ruby on Rails.

- Helped tighten API data contracts in Rails serializers after tracing malformed payloads back to the source for React and React Native clients serving 1.4M federal users.

- Moved payload checks out of React screens and into the Rails/API boundary, which cut down defensive UI patching.

- Established shared React hooks and Redux patterns so web and mobile features did not drift into one-off state handling.

- Turned Figma designs into accessible React and React Native features on a biweekly release cycle, meeting Section 508 and WCAG.

- Prevented memory-related crashes on lower-end devices by virtualizing data-heavy React Native list views in Carrier 360. - Established Redux Saga middleware for async state and API flows so actions, requests, and mutations stayed predictable under heavy use.

- Locked down release testing with regression plans and automated E2E coverage to catch mobile workflow issues before submission.

- Shipped React Native releases to iOS and Android, including rollout coordination and compliance. - Traced production issues in Carrier 360 with Dynatrace and Bugsnag across workflows used by 40K+ active users, helping maintain 98%+ uptime.

- Handled Firebase notifications for mobile updates and Google Analytics instrumentation for release tracking.

InsightOut is your safe, anonymous space to ask the questions you've always wondered about, and share the insights you've gained, completely free from judgment or identity. What I think is cool about this project is that you can only answer questions from other users by tapping random bubbles on the screen. Each bubble is a randomly selected question from the backend, so the more questions there are, the less likely you are to tap on the same question.

Two-week project: Keep In Mind, a dream, thought, and feeling interpreter. This was exciting to work on! Leveraging GenAI, the app transforms user input into a story, accompanying artwork, and insightful questions for reflection. Keep In Mind offers a unique path toward closure!
