About me

As a Frontend Developer, UX Designer, and communications professional, I bring strong communication and cross-team collaboration skills to my teams.

My experience allows me to understand and communicate with developers, marketing, business stakeholders, and users. I strive to show up with respect and compassion as we work together to bring innovative ideas to life

I use design thinking in my development process. I value the continual process of testing, research, listening to users, creative problem solving, and cross-team collaboration to clearly identify the next best problem to solve and feature to improve that will benefit the users and the business.

We built a phone app for the Colorado meditation retreat center, Drala Mountain Center.

The App allows all users to meditate with an animated meditation timer. Members can log in to view their meditation stats over time. Users can also see upcoming programs and retreats offered, view a gallery of photos and videos from the center, and donate to Drala Mountain Center.

Even exhausted parents can tell great bedtime stories with the help of Tell Me a Story.

This app utilizes the ChatGPT-4 API to turn the text input that the user types into a personalized bedtime story. The prompt I wrote for the API request returns age appropriate stories that includes the details users have asked for.

This was a solo project in Mod 3. I'm currently setting up a proxy server to hold saved stories for the user. The repo is private at this time.
