I'm a senior software engineer who loves to work with teams that are excited about building performant, scalable web apps and websites.
I have eight+ years of professional experience. I'm currently employed as a Senior Software Engineer II at Credit Karma, a company that champions financial progress for all.
On my most recent assignment I've been working with the engineering teams on my vertical to solve for accessibility at scale. The team I'm on has a stated goal of achieving compliance with the WCAG 2.1 AA specification, and it's been a wonderful experience making our digital experiences more inclusive for all.
In my previous assignment, I was focused on adherance to engineering best practices and ensuring code quality remained high in an greenfield project written in TypeScript, React/Redux, NodeJS, and Tailwind. I continuously strive for engineering excellence in all of my work while being mindful of the needs and requirements of our business.
In my free time I love to find any excuse that I can to be outside: running, hiking, backpacking, camping, snowboarding, mountain biking, you name it!
I'm also an avid photographer and I'm currently learning videography and cinematography. You can find my photography at:
