Professional Philosophy
I’m not satisfied with minimum viable product. I want to make people’s lives better. I want to make things people can’t live without. Working as both a user experience designer and front end developer, I understand there is a balance between design and development. I think creatively and embrace big ideas. I’ve learned that great products come from hard work, passion, and a systematic approach to product design.

As a junior level UI developer, I was involved with modernizing the front end from table based jsp pages to CSS based layouts.

This included the design and development of 5 modules and an integration and continuity audit for two separate systems to work as one. Working in an Agile environment, helped transition our InsureAdvantage platform from a market reaction focus to a user centered experience.
